Energy falling from the sky

A couple years ago Bill gave Kadizzle a big solar panel. A solar panel gift is like a gift of seeds. The seeds don't do anything unless you plant them. That solar panel did not grow anything until. yesterday. Kadizzle drug the panel out of the crawl space and gave it a job out front lighting up the driveway. Think about what a miracle a solar panel is. The panele gathers sunlight stores it in a battery and releases the light at night. That is a miracle. No. moving parts. Free electricity. Amazing. There is another solar panel in the backyard. For almost three years that panel has provided light in the backyard. Both these set up don't have a means to turn on and off so the light is on 24 hours a day. Nothing is wasted. It all comes from sunlight. That little spot of sunlight two feet by three feet harvest light from the sun. Imagine storing light. Think of all the ancient people who would have given anything for such a process. Think of the poor sailors who hunted whales just to have light at night, now you just put a panel in the yard.
