ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Covering nearly 300 football fields in a remote patch of desert, the Shams 1 solar project carries off plenty of symbolic significance for the United Arab Emirates. It will be the first, large-scale solar project in the oil-rich country when it is completed at the end of the year, and the largest of its kind in the Middle East.

Certain products, such as bags, that are solar paneled to power ipods and lap, could help reduce our energy consumption.

The Argentinean government is currently investigating 11 projects to be part of the country's new renewable energy initiative. Four projects have already been approved by the government and are awaiting financial aid in order to begin taking form. One of these projects comes from China's Sky Solar Holdings. The other projects are likely to be approved in the coming months and will help the country reach its 2013 renewable energy goals effectively.
