Current Event

This week I did my current event on the stock called First Solar. First solar is a company that is focused on solar power made of a thin film semiconductor technology. They have long-term solar supply contracts with 12 European project developers and system integrators. The customers run and operate the plants. They are owners of land, agricultural buildings, commercial warehouses, offices, industrial buildings, public agencies, municipal government authorities, utility companies, and financial investors. That desire to have a big plant ran by solar power.

I think that solar power is going to be getting very popular because of the environment. People are becoming more environmentally conscious. Solar power makes it so that we are not using coal and other natural resources that are becoming harder to get. That is because of the supply and demand. It will become more common to see solar powered buildings.
