What do you think of the sun? How important is the sun for our health and survival ? How important is solar power for life on earth?
Can the sun solve our energy problems?

* The sun makes us smile and lifts our moods. 
* The sun helps us produce Vitamin D3 which is beneficial to our health on so many levels. 
* The sun produces in just one second enough energy to supply all of mankind's energy needs for the next 200,000 years. 
* The sun helps produce all our food.
* If the sun was a little closer or a little further there would be very little life on the earth, if any.

Using the sun makes sense to many of us
Those who are looking for ways to profit from energy programs won't be thrilled about us benefitting from sun.

The problems are always caused by greed, while the solutions come from need. The need for cleaner and cheaper energy is a real necessity. Necessity is the mother of inventions.
Most of our solutions to our problems come from above!

I agree, that is why I am buying solar panels and kits for my home also.
Yes God is good.

Andria, I hope you will be able to never need electricity again! God gave us the sun and brains. We need to use both!

And the sun can give us skin cancer since the ozone layer seems to be too thin to hold back uv rays that's coming from the sun!

Don't forget that we also have a brain and maybe we are meant to use it.

@1hopefulman Surely but some people don't as they don't see the immediate effect of the sun to their skin.

It's unlimited for billions of years and we have reached the point where we can harness it and make life so wonderfully different but sadly we won't.

@1hopefulman We can blame that on the oil companies and their hands in the pockets of the politicians.

I think if you were to take the entire earth and squish it to the size of a tiny tiny seed and then rub that seed against other seeds like your seed it will get very hot in your room. (you need to be superman or wonder woman ha ha) Friction example no oxygen required.
The sun heats changing hydrogen to helium in a big way. It is wonderful and very powerful too yes I agree.

Did you know that we can build salletistes that could collect the energy from the sun and send it anywhere on earth where it is needed?
Did God do a good job when he made the sun?

I like the part about how much energy the sun produces in one second.
If the top nuclear bomb producers of the world produced as many as they could and then sent them at the sun to explode all at once, on arriving at the sun would sound something like this . . .. . "pff"

Yes, there is a lot of energy produced by the sun and we can use it to help mankind if we want to.

I agree with Kandase, some countries have very little sun. Do you know how much energy takes to build the satellite needed to collect the energy from the sun? Not to mention the costs involved. You get nothing for nothing, only the problems are free.

That is true but look at how much money we waste in useless wars. If we can waste in wars then why can't we use it to care for one another?
Many people have television, I wish we had morevision!

@1hopefulman The money they spend in wars for politicians is an "investment". Have you ever wondered why the wars are all in the areas rich of petrol?

I think so
Did you know solar power energy isn't a new thing? Originally when rich people were making original choice for energy use they went the coal route to make money as there was no long term profit if people could harness the sun without paying for sun use?
We can’t find an answer to that question as the solar Energy was not invented, nor discovered. The solar energy was used as a source of heat since the ancient man without no previous thinking. The Greeks and Romans built their houses facing the sun so the

Thanks for the reference and the commnet! I will look it up.
That may be so but with dwindling resources on earth, the increasing cost of transportation and the harm that it is doing to the earth, our answer could come from looking up instead of down.

My antivirus will not allow me to look at the website as it has declared it a dangerous site. Weird!

I believe we can use the Sun and produce from that great energy resources that less destroying the environment. I love Sun, Hate when it gets too cold :)

Yes, there are many unlimited powerful sources of energy that won't harm the earth and there is nothing that we can't do because God has given us the intelligence. We can be destructive or we can be constructive but we can be and do and the choice is ours at this time.

I think so too! With the sun we can use satellites to capture and store the energy so that the weather conditions are no longer a factor.
