| Renewable Resource Solar energy is one of the very few sources of power that is a totally renewable resource. The fossil fuels (oil, natural gas and coal) are all finite, and as they become scarcer, they become more expensive to mine or pump, and the ecological danger of extracting them from the earth increases dramatically. When you make the solar decision you help reduce demand for non- renewable resources, and the environmental damage that results from obtaining them. |

| Solar energy leads all energy sources in being carbon- neutral. Solar-generated power creates zero emissions, and even the capture of the solar energy is emission free. Moreover, the best solar energy systems produce enough energy in less than four years to completely compensate for the energy required for manufacture. When you make the solar decision, you become a leader in the fight against global warming. |

| In addition to global warming, fossil fuel burning creates the large majority of the worldĄŻs pollution. One coal-fired plant alone (coal is currently a primary source of electricity) can generate thousands of tons of smog-forming pollutants every year. Solar energy is 100% clean-no pollution created when it is captured or used. When you make the solar decision, you do your part to reduce pollution and more. |
