The world is using its resources at alarming rates.

I believe the resources that we should all explore now more than ever is solar and wind. Solar for those that dont know come from the suns rays . Many things can be produce heat , electricity, and cooking resources the best part is they are all natural.

i agree. who decided to harvest liquid from the planetwe live on? then burn it. does that make any sense? it may be epensive for everyone to instal solar panels, but in the end it would be so worth it

Flexible Solar Electric Panels
Researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology announced in 2007 the development a breakthrough technology -- a flexible solar cell that can be painted onto a substrate. The cell is made by fashioning organic polymers into microscopic cylindrical shapes known as nanotubes. The process is simple and inexpensive and lead researcher Somenath Mitra, Phd. envisions the time when consumers will be able to paint the cells on walls, roofs, billboards or automobile roofs to generate their own power.

Homemade Solar Cells
An inexpensive solar cell can be made using only copper sheeting, a plastic bottle and saltwater. Such a cell does not generate much power, only about 50 microamps at .25 volts, but it is a fun project for the hobbyist. An array of such cells could conceivably be used to charge small batteries.


I know a person who wont throw away used batteries but dont ask him why. he is a horder. i dont think he does understand why himself.

however if the above would re charge his batteries then that would make what he did worth something.
