This is why i like Silver-
"Did you know that in over 14 languages the word for “Silver” and “money” are the same? You’ve all heard of the Gold standard but it actually replaced the Silver standard in the 1800’s. Unlike Gold which most of the mined stock is still in existence Silver has been used up and is in relatively short supply.
Solar Energy: Silver paste is used in 90% of all crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells which are the most common solar cell. As the use of solar power increases so will the use of Silver. Many buildings now are built with a Silver membrane which acts as a solar cell creating energy and heating or cooling much reducing the utility costs. As this technology is proven over time more and more companies and families will insist on using this type of technology.
Water Purification: Perhaps the most important use of Silver is that of water purification. Silver works as a bactericide and algaecide. Silver is being used in hospitals homes and remote communities throughout the world in need of clean water. Possibly the most pressing issue of today is clean water and the use of Silver in purifying water may be the solution. Over half of the water purification systems sold in the U.S. every year employs Silver. Silver purifies water of bacteria, chlorine, trihalomethanes, lead, particulates and odour. Silver prevents the build-up of algae and bacteria in the filters. New research shows Silver and oxygen catalyze to produce a powerful sanitizer virtually eliminating the need for the use of chlorine."
