Solar Energy

This is a very very informative article. I am intrigued by learning about the blantant statistics that show how wasteful we as humans are! For instance, from just 40 minutes of exposure to the sun, the United States receives more energy than all the fossil fuels we use in a year, and those fuels are being depleted 100,000 times faster than they can be created. I also have come to understand that if we start to utilize solar energy it would be a big help! One thing that is super helpful is for people to connect to a solar plant with many cells in a central location. "The Leipziger Land solar power plant in Germany meets the electricity demands of 1,800 homes, and saves about 3,700 tons annually in carbon dioxide emissions" states Annett Fruehling, a project engineer for the firm. Sounds like the way to go!
