Background
The sun is the ultimate source of energy. All the energy stored in the earth's reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas is equal to the energy from only 20 days of sunshine. With today's technologies, we can harness this energy to produce electricity. When appropriately sited, solar energy creates no pollution and is the most environmentally friendly source of power currently available. Thanks in part to successful research and development, the cost of solar technologies has been reduced in recent decades.
This measure will help encourage more solar installations on public buildings including schools.
