A cleaner world through solar power

Climate change is now a scientific fact, and man is the culprit. Burning fossil fuels, using nuclear power, and other finite energy sources have established that the world’s energy policies were incredibly short-sighted. What does the world have to show for overusing fossil fuels and nuclear power? We have pollution that kills many people prematurely every year. The legacy of nuclear power is so embarrassing, the entire industry would be wise to simply implode. Fortunately, there are answers that are available today. Renewable forms of energy are now available at rates that are less than ever before. In addition to saving the environment, installing solar saves individuals, families, and companies considerable amounts of money. At the same time, these consumers are empowered to take other steps to become more environmentally responsible citizens. But the most important result of solar power is the decrease in pollution. China and India are the world’s biggest polluters, but fortunately, they are leading the charge on renewable energy. However, some climate scientists look at the warming seas and predict dire consequences for humanity.

How do we do our part to stop global warming?

Public transportation: Encourage people to use public modes of transportation to reduce pollution. Where possible, try to make use of carpooling. If you and your co-workers live in the same general vicinity you can explore this option to save energy and money.

Conserve energy: Turn off lights and household devices when you are going out. Large amounts of fossil fuels are burnt to produce electricity. You can do your part to save the environment from pollution by reducing the number of fossil fuels burned. Consolidate trips and try to drive as efficiently as possible. This means accelerating and braking gradually and avoiding "jackrabbit" starts and hard braking situations.

Reduce, reuse and recycle: Do not throw away items that are no longer of use to you. If possible, reuse them for some other purpose. For example, glass jars make excellent containers for food items and miscellaneous household materials. Plastic yogurt or salsa containers are excellent containers for leftovers.

Clean energy resources: Clean energy technologies like solar, wind and geothermal are more popular than ever before.  Governments of various countries have been providing grants to consumers who are interested in installing solar panels for their home. This will help greatly to curb greenhouse gas emissions. There are sometimes other financial incentives from private corporations and government entities.

Use energy efficient devices: CFL lights consume less electricity than old-fashioned filament-based bulbs. They last longer, consume less energy, lower electricity bills and also help you to reduce pollution by consuming less energy.

Installing solar is the most profound way to impact global warming

But the most important of all those factors is to install a solar energy system for your home or business. By generating your own power, you save money and contribute to a cleaner world. Depending on the size of your solar installation, you may be able to sell power back to the grid. Large-scale solar operations are increasingly common in the arid desert Southwest and this makes a significant impact on pollution reduction while producing huge amounts of power.

Solar power is here to stay, and the sooner you explore how much you can save, the sooner you can enjoy the benefits of residential solar power. Now is the time to install a solar energy system because prices have never been more competitive.
