A new nanosolar powersheet is now only costing $1 per watt, as stated by Michael Moyer in an article in Popular Science. These new powersheets are being made even cheaper, now being practically a sheet of aluminum with paint. The posiblilities are endless. We could put these coating on shingles, windows, siding, roofs, and we probably could even put in on cars.

Energy is Important
Energy is an important resource, but can be renewable. We have our fossil fuels like: gasoline, diesel, oil, propane. We also have a whole list of renewable sources like: solar power, electricity, bio-diesel, nuclear power, hydro-power.
Our fossil fuels are depleting and aren't able to be replenished. Plus they're getting more and more expensive as time goes on and we already depend on other countries for oil. These crude oils are also polluting our world.
If we could switch to these cheaper sorces of renewable energy, our world could be a less polluted world with cheaper "fuel" prices.

Universal health care is a government mandated program that basically pays for everyones health care from the "extra" taxes the citizens pay. What I mean by extra is that it is included in the taxes the citizens pay, but the citizens pay more in taxes than if they didn't have universal health care.
There are examples of universal health care in the world today, such as: The United Kingdom and Canada. In places such as these, the government pays a larger percent of health costs than that of the United States.

Introducing a blog of Political proportions
I'm a student at Spanaway Lake High School and part of a AP Government and Politics class.
We as a class were assigned a project to create some form of electronic political media about an issuse in the upcoming election of 2008. At first my group and I were going to create a video, but changed our mind as to make a blog with maybe a few short clips of what would have gone into our video.
