Solar power is totally by far the earth's most available energy source: especially in Saskatchewan!!
The sun provides energy for plants and for us! We need to use the sun's full potential by harnessing this type of energy for our use!
This 100% sustainable and abundant energy resource has not been fully realized or utilized by our society as of yet... but have faith... we will get there!!
Get this: Covering only 4% of the world's desert with solar panels could supply almost ALL OF THE WORLD'S TOTAL ENERGY DEMAND!!!! HOW DIFFICULT WOULD IT BE TO PUT OUR EFFORTS AND MONEY INTO A PROJECT SIMILAR TO THIS INSTEAD OF NUCLEAR ENERGY, EXTRACTING COAL, ETC....????????
Solar power has evolved, like other sustainable energy resources, and it is now able to be stored to generate electricity at will (ie. when the sun goes down.... you can read at night and your food will stay cold!)!! We must clean our mental slate of preconceptions and learn about all of the developments and innovations that have made these sustainable energy sources practical and available!
One thing to think about: We pay monthly for our power, natural gas, etc. with little or no installation fees... for example, let's say for 10 years your power and natural gas bill is 250$. In 10 years you will have paid 30,000$ for your power and natural gas use.... PLUS the energy that was consumed was NOT renewable or sustainable (contributing to pollution, etc.- if you care about that, not all people do!).

Ok, to set up a geothermal energy system (replaces natural gas) it costs approximately 15,000$ and depending on the wind/solar power that you choose or need it costs approximately 17,000$. So in a little over 10 years.... you will have paid for a lifetimes worth of power and energy.... BUT WAIT!!!! There's more!! The crown cororations of Saskatchewan have incentives (if you need even more of an incentive to consider this type of energy!!) that give you grants for installing this type of energy!! Up to 10,000$ per building!! That means that in under 6 years, your power sources will be covered, NO MONTHLY BILLS!! PLUS they have loan programs with low interest to help cover the initial cost!!!! COULD IT GET ANY BETTER????
PLUS you didn't increase the footprint you leave on the earth by using non-renewable resources for power!!
CONGRATULaTIONS! FELICITATIONS!!
CONGRATULaTIONS! FELICITATIONS!!
In addition..... the power that you don't use will be "sold" back to the power company and you will be given credits for the power that you didn't use for next month!
Consider using that big ball of sun love up in the sky when you build or renovate!
