WHY
GO SOLAR?
Compelling
reasons to implement a Solar Energy System at your home or business
Save Money:
A Solar Photovoltaic or Solar Thermal System will save you money
on your utility bills. Although the initial investment may seem
costly, there will be a break-even point reached after several years
after which the savings will be fully realized. The only factor
to consider is how long the pay back period will be. At current
prices a Solar Photovoltaic system will take longer to break even
with than a Solar Thermal system. Even if a homeowner will not keep
his home long enough to achieve the break-even point, the home will
gain value just as if an addition were added to the home. It is
an improvement to the home which is long lasting. There are several
federal and state tax incentives available for residential and business
installations.
Save Energy: Energy prices for Oil, Gas, Coal and other
fossil fuels which are used to produce Heat and Electricity are
despite fluctuations, only going to go up and up in price as time
goes on. Using renewable energy from the Sun will help to reduce
the energy consumption of our country.
Help The
Environment: It is well documented that burning fossil fuels
produces polluting gasses which are harmful to our health and the
environment. Global warming is attributed to the Greenhouse Gas
properties of these pollutants.
Be Patriotic:
Our dependence on foreign oil is the root cause of the terrorism
which is plaguing the world and our country. Our presence and influence
in the Mid East is resented by the Arab Nations there. The money
which they receive from our oil purchases is the same money which
is being used to support terrorism. If we did not need the oil in
the Mid East they would not have the money to support terrorism
with. We would have no compelling reason to maintain a strong military
presence there. The oil revenue which we send to them has financed
the massive build up in the Iraqi military. No oil money means no
military threat.
Energy
Independence: If every American were to implement a Solar
Energy System in their home or business the country would drastically
reduce its dependence on foreign oil. Our utility bills would be
smaller, we would use less fossil fuels, our environment would be
cleaner and our foreign enemies would have much less money to attack
us with. Since our Federal Government has failed to take the lead
in promoting the mass adoption of Alternative Energy sources of
power, it is up to the American public to take the lead in promoting
and implementing the use of Renewable Energy sources.
