a lot of people would say that oil is our major source of energyand for the present time it is, but it is not our major source of energy. the good old sun is becoming our major source of energy that is being developed more and more. unlike oil which is eventually going to be depleted and nuclear energy which after an unfortunate accident is going to make energy experts running all over the place to find a replacement will turn to the sun.the hospital in our town has for the last 15-20 years have an array of solar panels on the roof of the tower building which has supplied the hospital with hot water saving millions of dollars in the process. already weare seeingmore businesses and homes putting up solar panels and most are selling power back to the elictric company whic in a few years could reap benefits to homeowners who would start feeling the payback on their investments
