		<description><![CDATA[According to CNN, both Senators Obama and McCain are touting solar energy, harnessed through solar panels like the ones found on Al Gore’s home.“Touting” according to The American Heritage College Dictionary is “to solicit customers, voters, or patronage in a brazen way; One who solicits customers brazenly or persistently.” Well, they both have their plans laid [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Solar powered cars already exist, but their limitations are great. Mazda was among the first companies to tinker with solar roofing ideas, but the costs for the cars were outrageous, accompanying many other problematic issues.
For cars available today, solar power recharges the battery when they are parked. Afterwards, the car can be used, but only [...]]]></description>

One  major impediment to more widespread popularity for solar home systems  has been aesthetic value. Many homeowners and community organizations  have frowned at the prospect of large, unsightly, glaring solar panels  on their roofs or in their yards.

This  week, all the green blogs are talking about them. They look like they  belong at a kid&#8217;s birthday party, but they&#8217;re really working to get the  highest efficiency out of solar cells. They are solar balloons,  designed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that we&#8217;ve covered passive solar windows and floors, it&#8217;s time we got down to walls. As you know, passive solar design creates &#8220;smarter&#8221; homes that garner energy from the sun without additional operation or maintenance costs. This is because passive solar features can be built right into a home&#8217;s structure.
With walls, placement plays a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Through sheer inspiration, apparently. By imitating the structure of moth eyes, solar manufacturers hope that silicon panels will improve. Moth have very non-reflective eyes, a trait that helps them avoid nocturnal predators. If silicon panels reflected less light, more of it would stay intact towards the production of solar electricity.
Moth eyes have a series of [...]]]></description>
