The advantages of solar energy are abundant:
- allows users to get off the grid
- provides clean, green energy for years to come
- contributes to solving the climate change crisis
- are pollution free — fossil fuel pollution kills millions and contributes to major health problems, especially for children and the elderly
- is totally renewable, unlike fossil fuels (which are running out)
The list goes on and on.
The fact is, the planet’s climate is changing. Just wade through the hundreds of articles on our main climate change news site and you’ll see the proof is piling up daily.
More severe water shortages and droughts, out of control flooding, increasingly intense ocean storms, rising sea levels… the evidence is overwhelming. There has never been an issue that has more scientific support, in spite of the propaganda efforts of the fossil fuel industry (who stands the most to lose from climate change legislation).
What’s the solution?
Making a massive, immediate shift to renewable energy.
Solar and wind are the two most powerful alternatives to fossil fuels, while geothermal and biogas are making great strides.
