Human kind is responsible for global warming, there is no doubt about it. We have changed the world’s climate and have brought it to a point where it’s crucial that we do something about it and soon. Entire species of animals are dissapearing faster than we ever thought possible, as time goes by, flooding will affect us in the vast majority of the world, petroleum price is on constant rising, and as a result, entire industries are capsizing.
Our Earth is dying slowly and with today’s scientific knowledge and advanced technology, we are capable of making a big difference. Our sun provides us with light, and we have learned to harness the power of sun rays and convert them into energy. This technology has existed for more than 35 years, and we still rely on other sources of energy.
Sun Energy is clean, it’s effective and it’s cool! It’s been powering satellites orbiting the space for ever. Why is this technology being used in outer space but we still can’t manage to approve commercial solar-powered cars and eliminate our dependency on oil. Solar Energy Companies have existed for a long time and the only appliance that has been accepted worldwide is the solar water heater. Now the same companies that create these water heaters are advertising massively all over the world to eliminate household’s dependency on the power grid. Even the government is offering incentives and discounts to acquire solar energy panels for your home. There’s still a lot of work to do, but it’s a start
Thankfully, everything is changing in 2009. Currently there is a boom market on eco-friendly electronics, appliances, cars, gadgets and even dish soap (some are biodegradable now). New Solar Energy Companies are emerging every month in major cities around the world and the technology is better than ever. The point is, we have started to make the world a better place, by simply doing little changes like using a solar cell-phone charger we can make a big difference in the world. Remember, if we all do a little, we can do a lot.

Obama commits nearly $2 billion to solar companies – Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON (Reuters) –
President Barack Obama, under pressure to spur job growth, said on Saturday two solar energy companies will get nearly $2 billion in U.S. loan guarantees to create as many as 5,000 green jobs.
In his weekly radio and Web address, Obama coupled his announcement with an acknowledgment that efforts to recover from the recession are slow a day after the Labor Department reported that private hiring in June rose by 83,000.
“It's going to take months, even years, to dig our way out and it's going to require an all-hands-on-deck effort,” he said.
All told, 5,000 jobs are expected to be created through use of $1.85 billion in money taken from the $787 billion economic stimulus that Obama pushed through the U.S. Congress in early 2009 over the strenuous objections of Republicans.
Obama announced the Energy Department will award $1.45 billion in loan guarantees to Abengoa Solar Inc to help it build Solona, one of the largest solar generation plants in the world near Gila Bend, Arizona.
Abengoa Solar, headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, is a unite of Spanish renewable energy and engineering company Abengoa SA. In the short term, construction will create some 1,600 jobs in Arizona.
“After years of watching companies build things and create jobs overseas, it's good news that we've attracted a company to our shores to build a plant and create jobs right here in America,” Obama said.
Obama said $400 million in loan guarantees will be awarded to Colorado-based Abound Solar Manufacturing to manufacture advanced solar panels at two new plants, creating more than 2,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs.
PLANT IN EMPTY CAR FACTORY
A Colorado plant is already being constructed and an Indiana plant will be built in what is now an empty Chrysler factory.
The announcement addresses Obama's desire to create jobs related to green technologies.
Obama, whose Democrats are anticipating losses in November 2 congressional elections because of the weak jobs picture, said the steps he is taking “won't replace all the jobs we've lost overnight” and that “I know folks are struggling.”
He accused Republicans of blocking a $33 billion extension of unemployment benefits that failed to pass the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
“At a time when millions of Americans feel a deep sense of urgency in their own lives, Republican leaders in Washington just don't get it,” Obama said.
Republicans say the problem is Democrats want to pass legislation that would add to the country's debt.
In the Republican response to Obama's address, Senator Saxby Chambliss called the country's $13 trillion debt “one of the most dangerous threats confronting America today.”
“At a time when many Americans are clipping coupons and pinching pennies, President Obama and the Democrats in Congress continue to spend money that they — we — do not have,” Chambliss said.
