Even back in 1938 they were dreaming of a clean and unlimited source of energy. Now in 2008, it's finally time for us to become independent of foreign oil. If we want to do it sooner rather than later, it's going to require some compromise from all sides. If we don't compromise and get started now, then ten years from now, we will have no one to blame but our selves for the economic and environmental damage that will have taken place. So just pick a reason, whether its economic security, national security, global warming, or a concern for our environment, pick one, two, three, or all of the above, or maybe you have a different reason, it doesn't matter as long as we all have the same goal of being energy independent. jbranstetter04 Copyright 2007 The Need Project. What Is Solar Energy? Solar energy is radiant energy that is produced by the sun. Every day the sun radiates, or sends out, an enormous amount of energy. The sun radiates more energy in one second than people have used since the beginning of time! History of Solar Energy People have harnessed solar energy for centuries. As early as the 7th century BC, people used simple magnifying glasses to concentrate the light of the sun into beams so hot they would cause wood to catch fire. More than 100 years ago in France, a scientist used heat from a solar collector to make steam to drive a steam engine.

There is a new energy saving pool product on the market. I purchased a Solar Pool Pump from BSA Power Solutions in Ft. Lauderdale. BSA Power Solutions is a dealer for Florida Solar Pump. It took about a day to install, but I must admit, I am seeing a difference in my electric bill. I estimate I am saving $85 - $95 per month on my electric bill, plus I will get a 30% federal tax credit on next year's tax return. It's really cool to see the pump working and the electric meter not moving. Visit www.floridasolarpump.com for more information. It's a good site for solar pumps.
