A Future So Bright...

Solar power is finally about to get its day in the sun: It is on track to be as or more affordable than conventional electricity by 2016. Although the solar industry is currently responsible for less than half of 1 percent of U.S. energy production, its star is rising fast, with the country generating 139,000 percent more solar power than it did just 10 years ago, and there's still plenty of room to grow. Solar energy has the potential to power the United States 100 times over. Mother Jones
