Solar Power

My research on solar power has certainly been educational.  The sun is a natural marvel that we are just beginning to appreciate. Although, many cultures have embraced the sun as their God, over centuries. In the 1890’s, solar water heaters were being used in the more sunny areas of the U.S.

 Then , in the 1920’s, large supplies of coal and oil were discovered, becoming the choice of many, with their low cost. Of course, we know today, these resources are not renewable. It is because of that we are now faced with how to best utilize our natural renewable resources for energy. There is still much more to be researched before we can rely on these sources of power. As we wait for this, we can still do our best to preserve what we have left.

As I listen to my sweet solar chimes sitting on the bookcase in my office, I will be reminded of all the research and hard work that is going on to bring the power of our sun to heat our homes and water, and provide us with enough solar power for all our needs.

Live Well! Enjoy More!
