Here Comes the Sun


Over on treehugger.com, an interesting post on the current trends of solar power and where it will lead to. Technology has brought us to the point of being able to be free of polluting fossil fuels. Solar power is one of the many solutions to the problem we have. The sun has always been the natural source for energy on this planet, and to be able to harness that naturally produced energy to drive our ever more complicated lives is a move back into our "natural" state. This technology will only continue to become more efficient and more reliable and I hope that it helps drive the wooden stake deeper into the oil, gas, and coal companies hearts.

There will be backlash from them, for sure. So, we must be the bodyguards of solar energy and demand through the ballot that our lawmakers stop favoring the outdated, polluting forms of energy and start favoring the clean, renewable resources this planet and science has to offer. Let us continue to push for reforms in campaign contributions so that these oil and gas companies will stop influencing our energy policy to the point that our country cannot help the world stop global climate change in its tracks. Let us continue to petition our lawmakers to do the right thing, and if they continue to side with the big fossil fuels, let us band together and drive them from office and put someone in there who will not bow to these companies every whim. We can bring light into the world.
