New Report: Solar Power Can Reap Benefits For Environment, Energy Security
|
|
From laundromats and baseball stadiums, to homes and cars, solar energy is already enhancing energy security and reducing pollution in Pennsylvania and nationwide.
A new PennEnvironment report outlines a vision for using the sun to meet 10 percent of the country’s total energy needs by 2030, and moving toward reaping the full potential benefits of solar energy.
“The sun provides more energy in an hour than all the coal mines and oil wells do in a year,” said Nathan Willcox, PennEnvironment’s Energy & Clean Air Advocate. “This solar energy is limitless, pollution-free and increasingly cost-competitive with older, dirtier sources of energy. Pennsylvania and the nation must figure out how to tap more of the heat and power of the sun.”
A copy of the report is available online.
