Solar Energy: Protecting and Preserving the Natural World

Politicians juggle several hot potatoes this election year. Energy and the environment are just two of many. Since I have yet to vote myself, I still search the news for the latest political news related to solar energy.

While searching I came across an article by Christopher Hitchens in which he rails against Sarah Palin and her comments in an October 24th speech regarding fruit fly research.

What bothers me about Mr. Hitchens article is that he suggests that Christians are a group “who believes that there is no point in protecting and preserving the natural world, since the end of days will soon be upon us.”

I want to say two things here.

First, I know non-Christians who see no point in protecting and preserving the natural world. This self-centered, live-for-the-moment, attitude is held by various people from all walks of life and religions.

Second, some Christians do care about protecting and preserving the natural world.

I am one.

Solar energy—and all renewable energy resources—are gifts to us from a generous Creator, to use for the good of the earth and humanity.
