Energy impacts our entire economy: how we eat, how we cool and heat our buildings, how we power our machines, how we fuel our transportation. It impacts our health, and especially our planet’s future.
Our foreign oil dependency is choking us. Our power grid is old; our energy demands are growing. We should not invest in dirty, dangerous, and diminishing resources like oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy.
After the Gulf oil spill and Japan’s nuclear disaster catastrophes, we ask our government to support a transition to solar energy. After all: Every hour, the sun radiates more energy onto the earth than the entire human population uses in one year. Solar energy is simple, clean, noiseless, and gives us energy independence. Promote solar power with incentives for solar panel installation.
