Quick errand to the hardware store for some touch-up paint, or something equally ho-hum. Then I saw the display of colorful yard butterflies — they had solar batteries attached to the stakes. So I bought one — it’s so pretty that I want another one. Mine is aquamarine. A pink butterfly might go well, as well.
I am fascinated by solar power. I am hoping that it can be harnessed to light homes and factories and, eventually, the whole globe. With maybe a few wind farms thrown in for good measure. And generators that produce energy from the power of tides and waves and currents. These forces of nature are there. Yes, it would take much money to develop them. But we have to make a beginning. They are clean and they are endless.
