Solar is the future. Fossil fuel interests are bribing our politicians to suppress renewable energy while they get billions in subsidies and corporate welfare. Now that solar panels are being mass produced, the new tech makes fossil fuel obsolete. Once again Republicans will line their pockets by keeping our country in the dark ages, while Asia and Europe gain a competitive advantage in the energy market.
Solar is not even 1% of our energy consumption
If energy companies owned the sun, you can bet we would be getting a lot more than 1%. New Mexico alone has enough untapped solar potential to power the entire country. Today at the gym I saw a Tesla with a solar panel on the roof, and I decided I'm not buying a Camero. Mark my words. Ten years from now, millions of people are going to be buying solar panels at Home Depot, and they will have been made in China.
Solar is only one potential avenue to explore... It probably is the most popular.
It is the most popular because this is the first time in history a renewable energy source has been able to compete with coal. Solar energy is now cheaper to create than coal, nuclear, oil, or anything else. Even if you think climate change is a hoax, solar is still the best way to make energy now.
Over at www.SolarCoin.org we have a crypto incentive for anyone with solar PV, 1 SLR = 1MWh of energy produced, its issued to solar producers free of charge. We also have unique features like real-time posting of solarPV generation data into the SolarCoin blockchain, this will make it a very valuable resource for any person, organization or nation wishing to see in real time what solar PV generation is like.
So dont worry about governments, we in the crypto-land can start managing the world on our own: https://steemit.com/environment/@scalextrix/dont-let-governments-ruin-our-planet
