It Would Be Nice to Have Solar Panels Right About Now |
| 6/2/2010 9:40:31 AM |
I was on the phone with a friend who lives in Phoenix, Arizona last night. He mentioned how the weather had really been heating up and how meteorologists were predicting triple digit temperatures this weekend. I was sweating my face off this past Monday where I live and it was only in the 80s. Anything above 100-degrees is a tough pill to swallow. I’ve been to Arizona... Read More |

For a while, I’d been doing a little research online about the benefits of having solar panels and the benefits were outstanding. I loved the fact that it could slash our electric... Read More |

Who Wouldn't Want Free Electricity? |
| 5/30/2010 7:53:18 AM |

I don’t know about you, but if someone offered me free electricity, I’d be the first person in line to take advantage of the offer. Have you noticed how much the price of electricity has risen in the past couple of years? My husband and I were talking about it the other day and also talking about how it would be great to have free electricity. After having the conversation... Read More |

Evolution of Oilrigs Needed After Another Oil Spill Destroys the Environment |
| 5/25/2010 12:43:51 PM |
The world has turned their attention to alternative forms of energy but that has not lessened our need for oil. It is a natural resource that won’t last forever but there is still enough around to keep the world running for some time. I don’t think there has been another form of energy, other then oil that has wreaked so much havoc on our environment. There have been only... Read More |

Solar Thermal Energy Rich in the Southwest |
| 5/18/2010 5:59:48 AM |
Bar none, there is not a corner of the United States that sees more sun annually then the Southwest. The desert landscape, lack of tall vegetation and many rooftops is the perfect formula for capturing solar thermal energy. I lived in Arizona, traveled around the Southwest and have an intimate understanding of the desert being an outdoorsman. Speaking for Arizona, this is... Read More |

Going green is seeping into our lives more and more |
| 5/6/2010 12:23:04 AM |
 I was reading an article recently that featured a couple who went door to door in their neighborhood and explained to their neighbors that they could get a great price on solar panels for their homes, if they purchased them now. The couple was going to install solar panels for their home and was trying to get a “bulk” price, if more neighbors ordered too at the same time.... Read More |

I never knew that by having solar panels installed you could save that much money—after he told me that he nearly cut his... Read More

Solar Panels Sucking It Up |
| 4/27/2010 1:33:59 AM |
This is the time of the year when solar panels really start to suck up all the UV rays shining down on the hotter regions of the country. From Las Vegas to Los Angeles over to Phoenix, the afternoons are getting a bit toasty. Nighttime is still nice and brisk at least in Southern California but the days leave all sorts of room for solar panels to create energy. It is... Read More |
