Some interesting things for us to think about are how we can use
solar panels in everything we do.  There
are constant developments exploring other uses of solar energy besides residential applications. The use of solar panels could expand to use on boats. Just think of
all the possibilities to use maybe on houseboats to speed boats and barges!
Right now there are studies on how to use solar panels in a way that also
functions as sails on large ocean carriers. I think that is brilliant because
not only are we reducing the amount of energy to push an ocean liner along but
supplying energy to the rest of the boat for various things. Be sure to check
this article out! It gives a little more information about this topic. Then
while you are there check the rest of this site out. There are all kinds of tid-bits
to read regarding being more environment friendly and this site also gives you the
option to follow various government legislation and provides the chance to sign
a petition or two.  http://www.care2.com/causes/solar-panels-act-as-sails-for-shipping-vessels-2.html
