Environmental Impact

Burning fossil fuels for energy adds pollutants into our air, contributing to childhood asthma and other health and environmental problems.

Although fossil fuel production requires significant water resources and causes water pollution, solar energy requires little to no water to operate. So, not only does solar power not pollute water resources, it also doesn’t put a strain on the world’s water supply.

There's enough solar energy hitting the Earth every hour to meet all of humanity's power needs for an entire year. 

Every ounce of oil, every lump of coal, and every cubic foot of natural gas could be left in the ground if only we could capture one hour's worth of solar energy each year. That's the level of the opportunity.
