Top 4 Ways Solar Positively Impacts the Environment
1. Going solar will reduce greenhouse gas and CO2 emissions 2. Add an electric vehicle (EV) and drive on sunshine 3. Solar reduces water pollution 4. Solar reduces strain on finite resources
1. Going solar will reduce greenhouse gas and CO2 emissions
The average Arizona home in US, consumes just under 13,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually. Even a modestly-sized solar energy system can easily reduce that number by 80% while many can even approach 100%. Even at these levels, the environmental impact of solar is substantial. Over twenty years, producing just 80% of the average home’s annual energy requirements, a solar energy system will offset the equivalent CO2 emissions from over 150,000 pounds of coal burned, or the greenhouse gas emissions from 45 tons of landfill waste!
2. Add an electric vehicle (EV) and drive on sunshine It’s pretty obvious that driving an electric car means fewer, if any, visits to the gas pump. Opting for an EV also means offsetting 100% of a traditional car’s harmful C02 emissions. But what many people don’t realize is that if you charge that EV from a non-solar home, all you're doing is moving the energy expense from the gas pump to your monthly utility bill. A properly designed solar energy system will power your home AND your car while helping to further offset the “dirty” electricity that you’d otherwise need to purchase from your utility.
3. Solar reduces water pollution This one is a little less obvious, but certainly one of the biggest environmental advantages of solar. While all manufacturing processes require some water,including those used to make solar panels, the total amount of water needed to generate solar electricity is dramatically less than more traditional electricity sources. Older technologies such as nuclear, natural gas, and coal-fired facilities, all require massive amounts of water for cooling purposes. With solar energy, there’s almost no risk to local water resources, nor does their operation strain local supplies by competing with agriculture, drinking systems, and other vital water needs.
4. Solar reduces strain on finite resources Global population will continue to grow, but our Earth only has a finite amount of oil, coal, and natural gas to give up. The sun is Earth’s most abundant energy source, producing a staggering 173,000 terawatts of solar energy every second! That's more than 10,000 times the world's total combined energy use and it’s available again and again. In contrast, fossil fuels are dirty and totally non-renewable. At some point, they will simply be gone, or the cost of finding and extracting them will be way too expensive for our strained population. If we don’t change, the resulting damage to our environment and strain to our financial infrastructure may simply be unrepairable. Going solar is the best way to hedge against the reality of dwindling resources.
Going solar is like saving the planet and keeping the change. In fact, it’s pretty much the only home improvement investment that will have an immediate and measurable impact on the environment while putting money back into your pocket from the moment it’s activated.

Remember that Jaynetan guy, executed his exit strategy while having soo much confident in this counter..exit immediately after RI once he see the trend not accordance to his profile.. Envy those type of experience guy who can make such quick decision.. here i'm still waiting and hoping..
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
