Energy
In the category of greatest unfulfilled potential, solar-electric power is a technology without rival.
Solar energy’s potential is off the chart. The energy in sunlight striking the earth for 40 minutes is equivalent to global energy consumption for a year.
The greatest obstacle to implementing a renewable U.S. energy system is not technology or money, however. It is the lack of public awareness that solar power is a practical alternative – and one that can fuel transportation as well. Forward-looking thinkers should try to inspire U.S. citizens and their political and scientific leaders about solar power’s incredible potential. Once Americans realize that potential, we believe that desire for energy self-sufficiency and the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions will prompt them to adopt a national solar plan.
