Solar is ecological, safe and clean. With ecological destruction of the environment such as Three Mile Island, Chernobel and the Exxon Valdez oil spill catastrophe in Alaska fresh on the public's mind, today's outcry for solar and other non-polluting forms of renewable energy is quite understandable. The environmental movement is a reaction to the current life-threatening situation. The harmful effects of air pollution cause acid rain and cancer. Everyone should understand that solar energy works and it works well in all climates.
Solar homes are cheerful, comfortable, and beautiful places to live.
The architectural landscape of the U.S. is going to change. It is interesting to note that many of the solar collectors in use are over twenty years old, still working well and have paid for themselves many times over. A perfect example of this is 421 Hudson Street building in the middle of New York City. 421 Hudson Street has two hundred solar thermal collectors on its roof. It is a shining living example of what solar can do.
