There is a
new
world wide web
emerging right before our eyes.
It is a global energy
network and, like the internet, it will change our culture, society and
how we do business. More importantly, it will alter how we
use, transform
and exchange energy.
STELLAR SOLAR --
STELLARSOLAR.NET
Enough solar energy
falls on the surface of the earth every
40
minutes to meet 100
percent of the entire
world's energy needs for a
full year.
There
is no energy
supply
problem, there is an energy distribution
problem
-- and the emerging solution is a new world
wide web of
electricity.
