Solar Energy is a renewable resource that is being used worldwide for an alternative energy resource. Many companies are looking into and investing in Solar Energy. The reason why so many companies are using Solar Energy is because they wouldn’t have to spend on the energy bill. The way it works is that you buy solar panels and land to put those solar panels on; but you don’t want any land, you want land where there is sun. You see, the solar panels are absorbing the sun’s energy. So, big corporations such as General Motors, are using these alternatives to power up their new Chevrolet Volt Plug-In Hybrid; so they can be ready for the customers when purchased. Many automakers are looking at Chevrolet and wanting to do the same with their vehicles and begin to use solar energy as well.

This article shows how solar energy is effecting the car industry. Nowadays there are many vehicles that are energy generated. Meaning they don’t have to use gas or oil (fossil fuels) to power up the vehicle. This being, many automaker are looking into alternative ways to power up their hybrid vehicles; that being solar energy. Many automakers want to use beneficial ways to power up their new hybrid vehicles without harming the environment as much as they would. The author proposes ways companies can begin their new alternative resource, that being said, investing in solar energy panels and perhaps putting those panels on their factory acres the businesses own.

Clean, Safe, Renewable. Why Not?

The University of California has made one of the largest solar energy purchases by a university system in the entire United States. This solar energy project will provide enough solar power to offset the electricity use at five of the state’s 10 campuses, as well as some university medical centers. A San Mateo solar energy company will provide 80 megawatts in solar energy to the university campuses. The university schools have set a goal to be carbon-neutral across the California system by 2025.

 

This article shows how many universities in California want to improve the environment throughout California. This also shows how hard the university students have worked in order for this deal to be signed. I would say the students throughout California that are majoring in Environmental issues or Environmental Science at universities are the ones that have a big affect on this deal. I would say this is an excellent deal that has been signed; it manages the utility bill at universities very well. This is a very effective and innovative bill that has been signed for our future because it helps the environment in many ways; one being, the amount of energy used throughout the entire United States. We know that renewable resources is the way to go when it comes to getting energy.
