About Clean Energy:
Clean Energy involves the conversion of renewable power sources found in nature & harnessing that energy into usable power for our everyday needs. The main characteristic that separates clean energy from all other conventional sources of power is the absence of dangerous bi-products. By dangerous we mean harmful to all living creatures and to our environment. Clean energy is 100% pollution free and produced entirely from renewable sources, meaning they are naturally replenished and virtually inexhaustible.
Environmental:
Renewable energy avoids or minimizes most of the environmental impacts associated with traditional power generation, protecting human health and the ecosystem.
? Solar power is clean energy that creates no green house gases and will help lessen the global warming crisis.
? Solar power lowers carbon footprint.
? Solar power is the most readily available source of power.
Financial: A major attraction about solar power systems, aside from the environmental aspect, is the money saving ability. Renewable energy technology is an investment. The solar panels cost X amount to install, and they produce Y amount of energy each year, saving Z dollars off your electric bill. After a few years your initial cost of the system is paid off and for the next 25 years you continue to save on your power bill, by harnessing solar power.
Electricity price instability: Solar energy is not subject to the constant rising of fuel costs, with that being said, companies that purchase renewable energy create some financial stability.
Fuel supply disruptions: In many areas of the world fuel supply to remote locations is the most important factor to sustain life. On-site renewable energy eliminates or greatly reduces the opportunity of any major event (war, conflict, catastrophic event) to threaten a corporation's power supply.
Additional environmental regulation: When addressing global climate change and air quality, federal and state regulations have been proposed, as a result, the price of conventional power would increase. Solar power, by all means, would be largely unaffected by the regulations, resulting in more stable prices over time.
Electrical blackouts: Organizations that require constant, reliable, protected power usually focus on on-premis power generation, such as diesel generators or gas turbines, which in terms of fuel are costly. Renewable energy can provide a more cost effective and just as reliable source of power for these facilities. (Municipalities, military, government institutions, recycling facilities etc.)
Operating margins: Solar power technology is more cost effective than conventional power supply, thereby, lower operation overhead. The adoption of solar power systems reduces the country's dependency on foreign fuel supplies.
Federal and State tax credit: When installing RES Systems™ solar power array you receive a state and federal tax credit. (State credit fluctuates state to state.)
Local Utilities: Depending on your location, specific power authorities, (ex. Long Island Power Authority) provide rebates as incentives for converting to solar power.
You got to be tough to be green in a pink world!!
