Sun-powered energy solutions- are they finally here?

I can feel your enthusiasm for this new technology. I hope it is everything you hoped it would be.

@db20747 Awesome! We need to keep warm with these long cold winters.

I'm going to buy a solar kit too!! for emergencies and to run my heater to keep my room warm!!!

So, the bottom line is that we have the solutions! If we are messing up the world then whose fault is it?

@levis2020 Hopefully, we will be more sensible in the future or we will all suffer.

@1hopefulman Most of the blame must be directed to the country that contributed the highest proportion of carbon dioxide and other harmful elements into the atmosphere. That country is China.

It seems that the technology is here and the business community sees the potential and the money. I hope thy use it correctly?

Very nice! I hope it continues.

@DianneN Me too. I hope so.

@1hopefulman So do I!

Absolutely right! The wheels have been turning for a while already.

It is a wise thing to do as it is a beautiful and available source of energy.

@rheicel As technology advances, we can only hope that the prices will go down. But let's not hold our breath waiting.

@1hopefulman Yes, you can save electric bill also but the solar panel here is kind of expensive so not everyone can afford to buy it.

@1hopefulman Soon we will have sunshine day and night..

@buenavida Do they use solar power there to create electricity?

Yes! So we hope that mankind will use this great source of energy beneficially?

@1hopefulman , That is so true! There have been lot of changes in the techhlogy in last few decades! Thanks!

@AKRao24

It's always nice to see positive changes.

Well, the equipment to capture it and store is very expensive but we are developing better and more affordable technology.

@BelleStarr Nice to know that! So things are improving when it comes to solar power.

@1hopefulman My daughter has solar panels on her house and it is very cost effective.

Things are getting better!

@mom210

@1hopefulman better and better all the time for sure.

@MarshaMusselman Amazing! Thanks for sharing that experience!

I found another video! I hope that solar power becomes more affordable as technology progresses as it seems to cause less harm to the environment and it will be there for billions of years and longer.

@1hopefulman I'll take a look at it tomorrow. My father in law used solar panels that were on a platform within a few feet of his small house. He also had a working windmill at one point. He had larger batteries in his basement, which I don't believe I ever saw but even if I had probably I wouldn't have a good picture to show them. He had electricity and running water in his house and ran the electric on 9volt batteries. Toward the end of his life he got his first computer and he used it mostly for his pictures. He wasn't online at all. In order to use the computer he had to make sure the batteries were on as more juice was needed for the computer even though he didn't do a lot with it. To my knowledge none of his family took his lead with greener living. He was able to do what he did without spending a ton of money which the rest of us would need nowadays.

Well, the video shows Mark Cuban snatching a deal with an invention that could possibly change the world so who knows what the near future will bring to provide solar energy?

@db20747 Ues, that's why I find Shark Tank and Dragon's Den so interesting!

@1hopefulman There's a whole lots more revolutionary things happening!!

I'm sure a lot of oil companies have also investments in other energy sources.

@db20747 It's called diversification!

@1hopefulman yes, good point!!

Yes! We probably now have everything it would take to build a wonderful world. Will we? I wish I could say yes but selfishness and greed will lead us to misuse all that we have. Only God's intervention can save us and teach us how to love which would eliminate all our problems.

@db20747 We have to be realistic. How much trust can we put in man?

@1hopefulman Very nicely said!!

True! We can do it! There's plenty of it.

That's great!

It does seem the best way to go.

I don't think that is ever going to happen, except in his dreams.

I think so too!
