In fact, in 40 minutes, the United States receives more power in the form of sunlight than it does from the fossil fuels it burns in a year.
Solar power is nonpolluting.
Unlike burning fossil fuels that emit carbon dioxide and other noxious gases which are linked to health problems, global warming and deforestation, solar directly converts the energy of the sun into energy humans can use without harmful byproducts. Solar does not damage the land or environment where it is located. It is easily installed directly at the point of application, where the power is needed, or on the ground, easily blending into the surrounding habitat. Moreover, the sun's energy is free. Countries and individuals do not need to purchase fuel for a solar systems or depend on fuel supplies from unreliable sources.
