I see more and more solar panels on my commute to work every morning, and it's a little bothersome. The sun is pretty important, it gives life to all of us and its energy is used by so many things around the world.

I'm not a scientist, or meteorologist, but I have to believe that trapping that energy and using it to power our toys, instead of allowing it to be used for its natural and normal purposes is going to have some drastic and long term affects on our planet.

One example, is what happens to all the plant life when there's not enough energy from the sun to power their photosynthesis?
