Celebrating Thirty Years of Solar Tales from a solar survivor
Solar Potential More solar energy hits the earth in one hour than all of humanity consumes in a year!
Paradigm Shift in Energy Generation Mining Energy: Petroleum, Coal, Natural Gas, Uranium, Oil Living off savings Harvesting Energy: Solar, Wind, Water, Earth, Biomass Living off income
Significant Advantages Uses Unlimited Energy Source Reliable and Proven Technology Improves Air & Water Quality Free Fuel Deliveries Daily Pays for Itself Over and Over Again Keeps Energy $$ Close to Home
High Cost of Fossil Fuels High, volatile prices n n n U. S. spends $440 billion annually on energy Natural gas prices gone up 350% since ’ 95 IL exports $6 billion for natural gas annually Pollution n n Therm of natural gas emits 11. 6 lbs. of CO 2 k. Wh of electricity emits 1. 3 lbs. of CO 2 (national average) 120, 000+ people die from air pollution annually in US 30 billion barrels of oil consumed in ’ 06 globally
Solar Thermal & Solar PV n n n Heats water & living spaces Has been used throughout time More economical than PV n n Produces electricity Can use batteries or electric grid Can sell excess power through electric grid Rapidly evolving technology
4 Hours of SUN Can Produce A 24 -hour Supply Of Hot Water Solar Thermal Technology Is Heating Water, Homes And Buildings In Over 150 Communities
