SOLAR POWER!!!!!
HISTORY
 Since the Industrial Revolution in the 19th
  century the United States has released
  harmful greenhouse gases and toxic fuel
  emissions into the air.
 Department of Energy created in Carter
  Administration with a national energy
  program.
 National Conservation Policy Act in 1978 set
  standards and offered financing for
  conservation in buildings.
WHAT IS IT?

   Solar power allows us to harnesses the
    energy from the sun and use it to power and
    heat homes.
 Three types of solar energy: photovoltaic
  (PV), concentrating solar power (CSP),
  thermal power
 Most of the sun’s energy is gathered during
  the day
 Solar energy is most ideal for heating homes
  and water.
 Solar energy is clean and renewable
EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT
 The burning of fossil fuels from power plants
  pollutes the air we breathe.
 Contributes to the growing global warming
  problem
 Over half of the fossil fuels are imported in
  America
 An avg. American carbon

  dioxide footprint is around
  36,000 pounds per year
http://youtu.be/T1HmY_ImHAg
BENEFITS
 Sun provides us with enough energy on the
  earth’s surface to supply us with about 1000
  Watts/sq meter.
 Solar panels easy to install on top of rooftops of
  homes and buildings, allowing them to function
  independently.
 Solar energy can be stored and used on cloudy
  days.
 By 2020, if the growth of the PV industry
  increases, over 150,000 jobs will be created in
  renewable energy.
COSTS
 Solar power is being produced during the
  day when electricity costs are the highest.
 Start out with a solar power water
   heater at $2,000 to $3,000 and
   your overall electric bill will drop
   by 18% to 30%
 Government and local tax breaks,
   subsidies and refunds offer you up to 50% of
  your initial cost back.
