Solar Energy, At Least One State Got It Right

Clean Technica 03/13/2014: "California’s Grid Sets Two New Solar Energy Records in Two Days"-- "Solar energy provided a record 3.9 gigawatts (GW) of electricity on March 7th, then bested that mark with 4.1GW on March 8th, according to the California ISO – enough to power about 3 million homes or 18% of overall power demand."

I wrote about nearly invisible solar panel shingles back in July 2011 with a post entitled "Nearly Unnoticeable Solar Electric Shingles". Check it out.

Every month that goes past gives us less and less reasons to frack, build a pipeline for tar sand guck from Canada (not same as crude oil), burn high carbon fossil fuels or nuke our way into providing for our energy needs. Not when trillion upon trillions of kilowatt equivalent energy is being poured down to Earth from the sun everyday.

Profiteers would have us continue living in the stone age. It is they who wish us not to embrace solar energy's promise over that by the continued burning of carbon based fossil fuels It is my hope that we not have a repeat of history regarding the denials of science once suffered by Nicolaus Copernicus by those who wish to maintain the status quo. One path leads us ahead. The other to wallow in ignorance of what is possible.
