Solar Energy Could Provide 10% of U.S. Power - Science News - redOrbit: "By 2030, solar power could meet as much as 10-percent of the need for electricity in America, claims a new report from a leading environmental advocacy group.
The report, Building a Solar Future: Repowering America’s Homes, Businesses and Industry with Solar Energy, was presented on March 9, 2010 by Washington, D.C. based Environment America and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. According to a press release from the group, the study 'examines a wide variety of solar technologies and tools, including photovoltaics, concentrating solar power, solar water heaters, solar space heating, and passive solar design' and 'makes the case that there are many ways to take advantage of the sun’s energy.'"
