Today I read an article based on Solar Panels. It was called Solar Panels Drain the Sun's Energy. After reading the article I found a lot of things that I didn't know before. The Wyoming Institute of Technology or WIT has reported that Solar Panels are draining our sun's energy. Because of that the Halliburton Corporation has rethought about their ideas on entering the solar energy market. I have always thought Solar Panels are a good thing but my mind has changed towards a different direction after this particular article. I never knew Solar Panels were sucking the sun's energy in. Even though Solar Panels are a more efficient thing to use they are going to cause problems in the future if everyone turns to them. Problems haven't arisen yet but scientists are saying they will soon. It is proven by research that Solar Panels are the worst human-made climate disaster. And that is why people should start being more dependent on other things such as oil and coil. I think Solar Panels are a great thing however if it is going to cause harm to our sun then we should stop using them for a better future. I also think that scientists should do more research just to confirm it better. The one thing that I really liked that this article stated was the very last sentence, "What good is clean air when our very sun is no longer functional?" This article was a very interesting article and I plan on reading further into this topic..
