Learning To Share Sunlight

FOR EVERY ONE OF US the sun rises, the sun sets, and its energy cascades down upon us all equally. Now that we the human species are about to embark in real earnest upon the solar energy era, how will its wealth be distributed? Or rather, redistributed? Only human competition and machinations can redistribute the wealth from solar energy, and this will most certainly happen, with the quick, the smart, and the aggressive gaining ownership of the means of production and redistribution of solar energy. We hope that everyone will benefit from having access to solar power at a reasonable price, but corporate concentration of wealth looms ominously on the horizon as the likely organizational means of control and ownership, unless we the people start to do something about it, in all haste. You can see it now: a huge aluminum and glass ultra modern building looming over the Google building, sunlight glinting at all angles, the word "Solarge, Inc" emblazoned high in the heavens, a few billionaires and their secretaries inside. But what can we do to stop a handful of people from making all the money in solar energy, while the rest of us pay high prices for it? First and foremost, it needs to be done on the internet. No more camping out for weeks, dirty, cold, and hungry, in some god forsaken parking lot, with other miserable malcontents. that requires too much effort. The next Occupy Wall Street type of movement must be online, and it must be loud. Social media is the answer, isn't it? Hashtag "Share the Sunlight!" Sunlight is like air and water, and, for that matter food; we all need it desperately, and nature seems eager to provide us with plenty of all three, as much as we need. How we use it, distribute it, depends entirely on us. We can hope that there will come a time when human prosperity is so great that the basics needs of life:food,clothing, shelter, air, water, sunlight, will all be free to everyone, and our descendants will look back at us, with our grotesquely unfair and inefficient economic systems, and scratch their heads in vain.
