Clean energy and solar power

While climate scientists overwhelmingly recommend the increased production of solar energy systems, the world continues to burn alarming amounts of fossil fuels. The scientific consensus is clearly obvious: our climate is changing at a dangerous and unprecedented rate. Yearly, we see increasingly harsh impacts, including more regular and intense droughts, floods and wildfires; lowered agricultural yields; rising sea levels; and acidifying oceans. Motivating these changes is a warming climate produced by man-made pollutants in the atmosphere. This is happening from rising greenhouse gas emissions originating from power plants, transportation, industry, and deforestation.

Economic impacts of climate change

If you live in a coastal region, climate change effects may be seen faster than other areas. The most vulnerable communities will bear the impacts of climate change, both around the world and here in the United States. However, the economic impact of rising seas, more extreme weather and damaged ecosystems will affect everyone. In many locations, severe impacts have already arrived: one need only look to America’s Arctic, which is warming faster than any place on Earth, to see a precursor of the future.

Solar will help ease the most dramatic impacts of global warming

Climate scientists tell us if we want to avoid the worst impacts and major economic losses, we must cut our emissions significantly and as soon as possible. Consequently, all countries, including the US, must act together to address this global conundrum. The world needs continued US leadership on climate change here at home and continued cooperation with our partners around the globe. The good news is that this huge challenge also presents a huge opportunity: by tackling this problem presently, we can help our economy and transform our nation into a clean energy superpower – creating millions of good paying jobs and increasing our energy security. The bad news is the Trump administration believes in fossil fuels. The transformation is already underway globally. The US can choose to continue to lead it or be left behind. Congress and the new administration must continue to take action on climate change a priority, both at home and abroad.

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