Your argument about US use of renewable energy grabbed my attention and somewhat convinced me to agree with your idea. One of the statistics you've found was very interesting, “The energy that strikes the surface of the earth in 8 minutes is more than the world uses in a year.” I was surprised the potential of renewable energy and thanked again for all the natural resources that we have.

You repeatedly emphasized that US barely use renewable energy though they have more sun compared to China and European countries who stepped forward in using these magnificent resources. I agree that using solar energy would certainly bring lots of benefits like reducing pollutants and saving millions of dollars from electricity spent. It is true that the initial cost of installing solar panels can be pricy and would make home owners to hesitate in making a decision. However, it is once installed on their roof, solar energy will continue be stored during the day and any leftover would be saved for the future use. If we think about electricity bill paid every month, installing solar panels would save more money at the end. I believe that installation fee would get lower as solar panels get distributed more and more.
