Engineers have been interested in improving solar panel efficiency since the last century. The first photovoltaic panel achieved an efficiency of about 6 percent. This was a major breakthrough in science as we rolled out our first commercial photovoltaic device in history.After the successful use of solar panels on spacecrafts, interest and research on photovoltaic panels intensified. Plans were made and approvals were given -- funds poured in. Improvements came in rapid bursts, bringing the efficiency of commercial solar panels to about 20 percent. In less than 60 years, we more than doubled photovoltaic efficiency.Currently there are photovoltaic panels that boast 30 percent efficiency. These are specially doped triple junction cells that began its development as dual junction cells. However these phenomenons are largely confined within the laboratory and engineers are still unable to produce such solar panels in large quantities without charging consumers an arm and a leg for it. More work remains to be done before common retailers stock up solar panels endowed with this technology.In practical there is nothing much we as consumers can do about technology. Yet the little we do...more

Most people don't achieve their goals because they don't start. What they truly want--takes their breath away—too hard, too big, too overwhelming. A "fear freeze" takes over their body and mind. But not their heart--they continue to feel that tug. Does this sound like you?I've been there too. All the cliches that encourage us not to die with our song still in us or to follow our hearts--didn't help me a bit at the time. "They" didn't know MY dream—MY finances—MY life—MY obligations.For the last 10 years I worked in Corporate America, I had a secret desire of becoming a Life Coach. I didn't dare tell anyone my dream because it was such a remote possibility—I didn't want to "make a fool of myself."During those years whenever I wistfully thought about a coaching career, an array of fears and excuses would quickly squelch any hope."I'm not confident enough. I don't know how to (fill in the blank). I don't have the right skills. I don't know anything about starting a business. How could I live without a secure paycheck? Where would I find clients? Where would I begin? I'm too old."Then I got the proverbial kick in the you-know-where and discovered...more
