Solar
The sun is absolutely brilliant!
In 15 minutes, it radiates as much energy as humans consume in an entire year.
Solar energy is the cheapest and most abundant energy source on Earth.
Over 1.6 million solar power systems in the United States are generating enough electricity to power 9.5 million homes.
And we’re just getting started. Want to make money while the sun shines? Want to help reduce dependency on fossil fuels without exhausting yourself marching in protests and lobbying reluctant politicians? Invest in solar panels! (You might still protest and lobby too.) The future is bright. Go solar!
