The Attributes of Solar Energy
You probably get the concept of solar energy — the idea of creating energy from the sun..
Nonetheless, here’s the attributes of solar energy:
• An endless supply… the sun will continue to shine for millions of years
• A reliable supply… the output of the sun is predictable
• A secure supply… the sun cannot be a target
• A safe supply… the sun does not cause pollution
• A healthy supply… sunshine is essential for good health
• A free supply… sunshine is delivered to your house free of charge (and fast)
• Promotes energy independence… both national and personal
• Promotes energy democracy… ownership for many people (not just a few)
• Promotes a healthy economy…
• Promotes enjoyment… you like its beauty, its warmth and all it provides
• Promotes biodiversity… sustainable behavior in harmony with nature
• Promotes community… a world that works well… we’re ALL in this together
• Promotes life… all life depends on the solar energy
At its core, solar energy is in alignment with all you love — and because of that, solar energy is an energy source you love.
