Solar energy pros & cons  

Solar power and utilizing the energy from the sun has its advantages as well as disadvantages. But I think the the benefits of using solar power outweighs the disadvantages of solar energy. First of all, solar power is a clean, green and renewable form of energy. It has no bad effects to the environment. In fact it helps heal the environment. The second is that is is renewable, meaning the supply will last forever. The only downside is that some solar panels are expensive.

We have a solar and wind powered house in Northern Ohio. It is earth bermed and we can live totaly with only the power produced. No bills. Our things that require electricity is built to use the power we produce. The washer and the water well pump use the power we produce quite nicely. The cost can be considered pricey but you do not have a bill to pay after purchase and within a short period of time you recoup the cost of the panels and wind turbines. This is a great way to go. During the black out a few years ago it sure did not affect us. Please consider it and find out how to use it!

The major disadvantage of solar is the start up cost. but some states have a per watt rebate and there is a 2000 dollar rebate on your taxes from the government. Solar heating and solar electric is good for the enviorment because the power and games company will have to service you with less power and they will have more power for the rest of us and when enough of us do this they might not have to build a new power plant.
