Solar Energy – Plugging into the Sun
On September 11th
Today, I discovered this excellent article by National Geographic called “Plugging into the Sun”…
Photo is of photovoltaic panels in Spain
…and wow, it’s a really good!
It explains how sunlight provides us much more energy than we’d ever need – and slowly we’re starting to tap into it!
It also reviews the two main ways to harness the energy as well:

Feed In Tariffs (FIT) could change all of that…
Changing My Mind on a Dime
On June 3rd
I used to say solar energy was not good for moving things.
It was good for heating water or making electricity, but not for transportation.
But with this…
… and checking out www.calcars.org to learn about electric vehicles (EVs), I’ve done a complete 180!
If you want to learn more, I highly recommend you check out:
After 30 years of being in the solar industry, I was so wrong about what I thought solar energy could do.
Kinda humbling.
So, if I could have a wrong perception about solar energy after 30 years, I guess I could understand that YOU too could have a misconception about solar energy.
I think there’s a lot of people that don’t fully understand solar energy:
- How it works…
- What it can, and can’t do…
- When it could be applicable…
- Affordable… and
- A host of other questions.
But there’s a huge belief that solar energy is a good thing… a VERY good thing, in fact.
