The Future Of Solar Energy – A video with some Solar Trivia

Will You And I Continue To Be Part Of The Problem Or The Solution When It Comes To Ways To Save Energy?

Starting today, at least promise yourself that you’ll start reading up and considering an alternative to some of the wasteful things that we all do and take for granted.

Like having 2 or 3 soda’s a day and buying them in plastic bottles.  Three soda’s a day is bad enough and I won’t go there in this article but buying them in plastic??  At least if you’re going to indulge in the whole soda need thing, buy them in a can and then RECYCLE IT.

Now I know soda bottles is a small example of what we can really do…  The future in Solar Energy is what we’re talking about and as far as a viable alternative energy source, it can now be effectively approached in a more realistic manor than ever before!

The future looks to be a very exciting and interesting trip!  Are you ready to jump on board?

Just look at some of this helpful info. that we’ve put together. It started out as something we were doing for ourselves. It blossomed into a labor of love and we just had to share what we feel is important enough to tell the World. We want to share with other sharp-minded individuals looking for ways to save money and energy to boot! It couldn’t be more important than it is RIGHT NOW!

Solio Battery Chargers were the answer.

Here’s my story, review and over-all appreciation of their existence!

You see,

I’m self-employed and can’t afford to stop working even during vacations.  When my eleven year old approached me with his grand idea of a father son adventure, so he could impress me with his newly learned cub scout skills… I thought it might be a once in a lifetime chance for us to have our first important bonding of sorts.

I just couldn’t say no to him and decided to dust off the old tent and have a go at a real-live, weeklong camping fest! The only problem is that like it or not, I have to drag along my lap top, my cell phone, digital camera and of course my i-pod..to mention a few electronic devices I’m addicted to! But how was I going to stay plugged-in to the World if I was to be thrown into the wild?

I knew the first challenge would be to find a spot at or near the campground with wi-fi capabilities. That’s actually not too difficult these days. A bigger problem, however, was keeping all of my gadgets charged throughout the week without being able to plug them into the car-charger. So I did a little homework and discovered that there are solar battery chargers out there for all kinds of gadgets and devices, some of which I didn’t even know existed!

Did you know…


…A tiny fraction of the energy emitted by the sun is enough to power your needs many times over.

That’s right. Only a small amount of power is needed to power your favorite electronic devices from cell phones to iPods to GPS systems.

When chosing a Solar Battery Charger, I was looking for the following features:

I was looking for one that provides an emergency power source when away from power outlets.

One that would work with multiple gadgets, including mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, smartphones/PDAs, MP3 players, portable gaming devices, digital cameras, GPS and more.

It had to be convenient compact and lightweight. It’s design had to be perfect for travel or emergency use.

Being made from reusable and recyclable materials would be a plus. Greens the thing!

So I took my requirments and I did a good bit of research on the subject at hand. What I came up with was an unbelievable amount of info. Almost an overwhelmong amount!

In these financially tough times, every bit of savings helps. Imagine how much you could put away for the rainy days ahead if, instead of paying for your electricity, the power company will pay you instead? Does that sound impossible? Not with Michael Harvey’s help. Harvey has found a way to tighten the belt and at the same time, help the environment. His system is simple but is so effective it will either reduce your utility bills or eliminate them altogether.

Here is how it works: you pay the power company for your household’s energy consumption. It’s costly but you suck it up because you and your family will be living in the Dark Ages – literally – without electricity. But what if you could produce electricity yourself? What if someone were to show you how to set up your own home solar panel or wind power system for a small one-time fee? Read the rest of this entry »
