Energy Crisis

Solar power is a unique form of energy that could very well fuel humanities lust for power in the future. There are many reasons why solar power trumps other energy products, and these reasons are not necessarily what you think.

Cleaner Environment -

The argument has been made that solar power produces little to no pollution, and there is no doubt that this is true. Will solar power completely reduce greenhouse admissions? Probably not. We will still need other energy sources for the foreseeable future. However, solar energy will definitely make a big difference.

Less Blackouts -

When you think of solar power, you probably think of thousands of solar panels sitting in a desert somewhere. However, that's only one way to utilize solar power. Think about this. What if every house, apartment complex, condominium; etc had a solar panel on their roof that powered that entire structure?[1] And imagine if the energy companies bought back all of the excess energy from your home (assuming there is any). The energy companies could then use your clean energy to power other structures and so forth.

Instead of having one specific area where our power came from, we would have multiple power sources. If the solar panels on your roof were to fail, then excess energy from other solar panels would be used to power your home. If for some reason there was no excess energy from the solar panels, then natural gas or coal would be used to power your home (like it does now) until your solar panel is fixed.

Some companies have even created a translucent liquid that can be combined with your windows to produce energy like solar panels do. Imagine the possibilities. Our future could become very interesting. And did I mention that you can profit from this?
