How many years have solar panels been in existence? According to BlurtIt.com, the first silicon solar cell was invented by Russell Ohl in 1941. For the next 67 years, solar cells have been soaking up visible light.

In football, it may be like offsetting penalties. Pass interference 30 yards down field but your front line gets called for holding. Geez!
Today, crude dropped to the $100 mark – something it hasn’t seen since the first week of April. That’s the good news. The bad news is that Hurricane Ike has impacted much of [...]

T. Boone Pickens wants to push wind and solar energy to reduce the amount of natural gas used to fire power plants.
Nancy Pelosi, in her effort to save the planet, embraces Big Wind.
Lights went off in the minds of extremists: ‘These people must be stopped!’
