    Solar Power Shines in Brazil for the 2014 FIFA World Cup

    Whoever you are rooting for in the World Cup, you have got to be impressed by the booming presence of solar panels on many of the stadiums that are home to the matches. Brazil's hosting the world cup has brought solar power to prominence--despite some of the controversy over the skyrocketing costs for the World Cup in Brazil. New solar arrays have been and will continue to be installed on the roofs of the World Cup stadiums. They will continue to provide clean electricity to their communities even once the festivities have ended. Solar panel juggernaut Yingli Solar has a heavy presence at the games, seeking to raise awareness about the global solar market as well as its share of this dynamic market. The event is a display of the feasibility and practicality of solar power generation.

    Funny thing about Brazil. The 2016 Olympic Games are in dire straights of not being ready. Many stadiums are still holes in the ground and 3 years behind schedule. Big news down here in Panama as Project managers are now desperately seeking foreign workers to come in and replace Brazilian workers and managers. Big money being offered for contract work for those in Construction who can make down there to work for 2 years on contract.
