Solar power is more consumer friendly. You know what that means! Read highlights from good article...
"Here's the real news: The price of solar decreased by 50 percent during 2011! 50 percent! That's a game-changing number that has resulted in a jump in installations throughout the U.S. and Europe, according to a recent Bloomberg report. Indeed, here in the U.S., new spending on solar energy jumped more than 30 percent to $55.9 billion in 2011, surpassing the 1 percent gain in China to $47.4 billion.
These are astounding numbers and show real movement and vindication for President Obama's solar policies. Bring costs down -- and people will buy it...
The solar success story is a huge one for this administration. And it's time to tell the story truthfully.
Brian Keane is the President of SmartPower, a non-profit marketing organization funded by private foundations to help build the clean energy marketplace by helping the American public become smarter about their energy use."
