Photovoltaics--Electrons moved by the Sun!
Although in many parts of the country, homes are still heated by coal, natural gas, log fireplaces, or "heat-pumps", there still are those who use heating oil or gas provided by the utilities companies to provide warmth for their houses. Likewise, the power for most cars out there and much of our home/business/industrial activities still comes originally from petroleum. However, the time has come for all humans to consider the ultimate of power and energy sources--our sun. Solar energy is now within reach of everyone in some version or derivation. This Squidoo lens provides some descriptions, links, video clips, and other resources on solar-electric or photovoltaic systems to help you make decisions on how your future energy and conservation outlook will be.

- Well, these are an eco-friendly solution -- I want mine to be a bit more stylish though to match the roofing shingles!
