America is a land of enquiring minds, and alternative energy is one area that evokes a lot of curiosity. These technologies sound good in theory, but we have been hearing for a long time about “the coming solar revolution” or about how our dependence on fossil fuels will soon be “gone with the wind”… and yet fossil fuels still continue to reign supreme. So people wonder – what is the deal with solar and wind and other such miracle energy technologies? Are they really the best thing to come along since sliced bread, or has all the talk been just hype and hot air?
If you have gone off the grid and chosen to support your new lifestyle with the assistance of a solar energy system, you already know that solar is the real McCoy, so much so that if Walter Brennan were alive today he would no doubt be powering his homestead with a solar photovoltaic array. (If you are too young to understand that reference, please Google it.) But if you have not yet freed yourself from the iron grip of the utility companies, like any good American you probably have quite a few questions about alternative energy, and you are no doubt especially curious about just how good of an option solar energy really is since that is the technology that is getting most of the attention these days.
