                                                  SOLAR POWER


       We've all done the thing with the magnifying glass setting fire, or at least trying to, using sunlight. But do we realise just how much  the sun could do for us.Here are some examples.

According to Keith Barnham (Emeritus Professor of Physics,Imperial College,London) " More Solar Energy strikes the Earth in one hour than is consumed by all human activity in a year. (my emphasis)

  In the UK more than 60% of our electricity is used in buildings.the solar enegy falling on those buildings exceeds by more than seven times the energy consumed  inside."

                                           *   Japanese Branch


So what does that mean?  It means that ' most' of our electrical needs are there for the taking. All we need is to develop the Technology a bit more and VOILA free electricity.

Dream on I hear you say

Do you think that the Coporations are going to let you get away with that? What about their shareholders? Their power ?

So the cost to you---what do you think?
