(June 16)With fossil fuels pushing electricity costs ever higher, bringing solar power to the market is looking more attractive every day. This solar array in the Israeli desert is testing technology for solar plants under construction in California. [Notes:SOT: John Woolard CEO, Brightsource Energy:]"IT'S ALL ABOUT HIGHER EFFICIENCY DRIVING LOWER COSTS AND THAT CAN HELP MAKE SOLAR THERMAL COMPETE DIRECTLY WITH FOSSIL FUELS." The computer-guided mirrors - called heliostats - can track the sun and focus its rays on a boiler at the top of a 200-foot tower. Water inside the boiler turns to steam, which powers a turbine and produces electricity. Woolard estimates that the technology could cut costs associated with solar energy by 30 to 50 percent, which makes deploying the solar farms much more feasible. [Notes:SOT: John Woolard CEO, Brightsource Energy:]"IF YOU LOOK IN TO THE FUTURE, BRIGHT SOURCE ALREADY HAS TO BUILD OUT, OR IS READY TO BUILD OUT, ABOUT ONE GIGAWATT OF POWER PLANTS WHICH IS ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF A COAL OR A NUCLEAR FACILITY, WE ARE NEGOTIATING MANY MORE GIGAWATTS OR HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF MEGA WATTS OF POWER PLANTS NOW AND WE INTEND TO MOVE OUT FROM THE U.S. IN TO OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS". The concept is in the final testing stage. Results from the experimental facility, a fraction of the size of commercial plants, are expected by the end of the summer. Full-sized facilities are expected to be operation in California's Mojave desert by 2011. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)

-Lyrics-
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --
Yes. We. Can.
Celebrities featured include: Jesse Dylan, Will.i.am, Common, Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Amber Valetta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger and Nick Cannon
