“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” – Buddha
It has become self-evident in my inner circle and for those around me at work that I have become extremely passionate about the Clean Technology sector. My rational behind this is very simple; it represents a different way of thinking and seeing the world. It represents unity, balance, and sustainability. These are principles that I believe are fundamental to a healthy lifestyle. In my last Top Documentary Selection: There Is No Tomorrow there was a lot of fear and facts used to suggest that our future here on earth was very bleak. The quotes below from friends and family are a sample of first reactions after seeing the video.
“That film has sapped my life’s optimism and 
joy” – David Glazer
“We are all doomed!” – Carmella Downy, aka Mom (*That one made laugh very hard lol)
“I guess we should invest in greater home security” – Alana Sharpe
The first thing they teach you in entrepreneurship 101 is that if you have an idea it must address a pain. Well the pain here is fairly obvious, the fear of depleting energy resources and what it will mean for our quality of life on earth is scary. The fact that we are expecting 3 billion more people on earth in the next 20 years and the challenge that will pose to governments across the world is scary. However this weeks Top Documentary selection Here Comes The Sun, is in response to There Is No Tomorrow. This doc is a bright and amazing view of what fearless entrepreneurs, business and political leaders across the world are doing to address the growing concerns surrounding our future energy security. Before watching the movie below I suggest that you listen to this classic Beatles song, it is the spring of positivity 🙂

Top Documentary Selection: Here Comes The Sun
If it were up to the sun, we would have no energy problem. Every half hour on the Earth’s surface, there is more than enough light to provide energy needs for the whole world in a year. We don’t have an energy problem, we have a conversion problem. If we are able to harvest sunlight in smart way, then we can prevent a global energy crisis.
That sounds nice but that does not mean it will succeed, at least that is what many different bodies want us to believe. It’s too expensive, takes too much space, too much material, it costs more energy than it brings, and it is still not efficient enough. While all these doubts play a role for solar energy in the distant future, it is still a marginal player in the global energy game. Back-light takes the edge off these myths and shows that a solar economy is much closer than we think. Next year, there are already rolling Giga Watts of solar cells on the conveyor belt. The industry has mastered the technology and the machines.
Radical German government measures have proved that it is possible. Villagers have completely installed solar power on empty lands. Power stations contribute to the network and where they are deserved. Many countries follow the German example: The Americans have their Grand Solar Plan and the French President Sarkozy is talking about a solar plan with the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. According to the Spanish electricity producers, oil companies will be left out. So what energy crisis? The sun is coming! (Excerpt from vpro.nl) via Top Documentary Films
