Renewable energy and greenhouse emissions

Renewable energy is the wave of the future. It is not only global warming that is driving this issue. Fossil fuels are a finite resource estimated to last only another half-century. What do we do when we have no more fossil fuels to burn? One thing most people can agree on when discussing renewable energy is that it will displace fossil fuels when the technology becomes the cheaper and more convenient choice. According to a Gallup Poll from March 2017, 7 out of 10 Americans favor the development of alternative energy over oil, gas, and coal, and 59% say protecting the environment is more important than traditional energy.

Why Solar is an Important Solution

Solar is by far the most abundant energy source on earth, making it a likely opponent to take on fossil fuels. In fact, solar energy is already making headway. Solar power generation is happening not only on the roofs of average American’s homes but also in massive arrays of solar panels that power large cities.These factors and more suggest we are gradually evolving from a fossil-fueled economy to one powered by clean and renewable energy, with solar leading the way. Solar technologies are renewable and the sun provides enough energy to fuel all the world’s activities. One way to accelerate the transition is by introducing solar energy in our everyday lives. Visualize seeing solar panels on your daily commute, or a solar-powered billboard, or using solar power to charge your phone at the local bus stop.

The Future of Solar Energy in Daily Life

The transition to renewable energy will be a gradual process and we should expect this to happen overnight.  But as people begin connecting to wifi at smart bus shelters or recycling bottles in solar trash bins, it will become a mundane part of our everyday lives. Even in today’s political climate, solar is thriving because communities are continuing to utilize solar energy to power every aspect of their daily lives. The cost to install solar has dropped by more than 70% since 2010 and many of the largest solar employers are in states that have leaned Republican including Texas, Florida, Arizona and North Carolina.

There has never been a better time to install a solar energy system!
