Original Caption: Solar heating and cooling demonstration project, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. This home is one of three completed by the university using a liquid solar heating system for both heating and air conditioning. At the time this picture was taken, no such systems were on the market. Flat plate collectors on the roof have blackened copper tubing to absorb heat from the sun. Heated water is piped to an 1,100 gallon tank in the basement and then is circulated through the house to heat it, 05/1975.

July 26, 2017 - Nipton, CA- Contracted workers clean Heliostats at the Ivanpah Solar Project, owned by NRG Energy, Bright Source Energy,Bechtel and Google. Over 300,000 software-controlled mirrors track the sun in two dimensions and reflect the sunlight to boilers that sit atop three 459 foot tall power towers. The facility employs over 65 operations and maintenance workers and over 2,600 jobs during it's 3 year construction period. (Photo by DENNIS SCHROEDER / NREL)

Over 300,000 software-controlled mirrors track the sun in two dimensions and reflect the sunlight to boilers that sit atop three 459 foot tall power towers. When the concentrated sunlight strikes the boilers’ pipes, it heats the water to create superheated steam, providing electricity to 140,000 California homes. (Photo by DENNIS SCHROEDER / NREL)
I'm thankful for Hydrogen. More of the matter in the universe is Hydrogen than all the other elements together. As the graphic says, it is part of water. Removing the Hydrogen from water, so that it can be added to food, is the whole point of photosynthesis. It makes up part of most of the important molecules in our bodies, including DNA, protein, carbohydrates, fats, hormones and vitamins. And the energy that come to us from the sun comes from the fusion of Hydrogen nuclei. It's fundamental to existence. See here for more discussion of the importance of Hydrogen.
I'm thankful for Hydrogen. I believe God planned for it to be able to do these things, but I can't prove it. That can't be disproved, either.
The graphic inserted in the word, "Hydrogen," is a photograph of the sun, from en.wikipedia.org, which allows such use.
Thanks for looking, and reading.

Located in the Mojave Desert 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas, The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project, currently under construction, with a planned capacity of 392 megawatts gross, enough to power approximately 140,000 houses. It will deploy 173,500 heliostat mirrors spread over approximately 3,500 acres, focusing solar energy on boilers located atop three solar power towers, generating steam to turn a conventional steam turbine. The project – owned by NRG Solar, Google and BrightSource Energy – is currently the largest solar thermal plant under construction in the world. The project is being constructed by Bechtel.

Lots of energy around our home especially when Lewis is running about! However, he's got a "bad" cold today and wasn't feeling like running about and showing off all of that energy.
So, I've gone for solar energy that is scattered about our garden - better than plugging in!!
Happy Mother's Day to everyone (although not today in the UK)

In the playful context of Seattle Center’s festival grounds, Sonic Bloom is a permanent interactive art installation at the foot of Seattle’s Space Needle and a defining entry sculpture to the Pacific Science Center. 5 giant solar flowers absorb the sun’s energy and express it at night with patterned LED lighting and in the daytime with a chorus of interactive harmonic tones triggered by people’s movement around each flower. The striped stalks are also massive barcodes that allow inquisitive types to decode the supersized puzzle.
At the foot of Seattle’s Space Needle and a defining entry sculpture to the Pacific Science Center, Sonic Bloom was conceived as a dynamic and educational focal piece that would extend the Science Center’s education outside of their buildings while engaging the public with an iconic artwork prompting curiosity and interactivity both during the day and night.
Commissioned by the Pacific Science Center and Seattle City Light’s Green Up Program.
5 flowers: 20’ diameter and up to 40’ tall. Steel, fiberglass, custom photo voltaic cells, LEDs, sensors, interactive sound system and energy data monitoring.
