Solar Energy Oil supplies and prices may fluctuate, but the sun always shines. In fact, in 40 minutes, the United States receives more energy in the form of sunlight than it does from the fossil fuels it burns in a year.
Solar energy 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 energy 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.
