The Age of Solar

According to businessreviewusa.com,

Solar energy is a major economic driver for the United States, creating green jobs and vigorous revenue growth for participating companies. Despite a downturn in the U.S. economy, the American solar industry posted spectacular growth numbers in solar deployment during 2009. Photovoltaic (PV) installations increased 40 percent from 2008 to 2009. ASES predicts a 50 to 100 percent increase in solar deployment in 2010.

Yeah duh! That's what I've been saying the whole time all these so called "experts" have been calling solar a non-viable source of energy. Face it, alternative sources of energy are the way of the future it's as simple as that. They create jobs, save us money, and are environmentally conscious. It's a win win situation. In life we don't get many of those. The article goes on to say:

“Based on early predictors, we estimate a grid-connected PV growth of 50 to 100 percent in 2010,” said Collins. “However the continued growth of the U.S. solar industry is directly tied to Congress passing supportive RE & EE government policies. Every day when the sun comes up, people know that the sun is a sustainable solution to our energy situation. American scientists started the solar energy industry. It’s time for U.S. businesses and the American people to make our voices known to move solar to a mainstream energy solution in the U.S.”

I %100 agree with this sentiment. It's time we get off our asses and make it known that fossil fuels and the evil corporations that push them are outdated and dangerous. Solar roof tiles are an incredible resource for homeowners and business owners alike to participate in the age of solar.

Anyways this great article has a lot of figures about solar I would suggest checking out. You can read the whole article at:
