Letter: We need to know more about solar power - Shaw Local
Yes, we need to know much more about solar power. The information we have has come from the solar companies. We do know they don’t last long and are already starting to fill our landfills. We know they are taking up land that was used to produce food for America and other countries. We don’t know all the effects on nearby residents. Personally, I would prefer working on the grid and protecting it from an attack.

Declining costs and government encouragement have resulted in a rapid increase in solar energy production in the United States over the past 10 years, although solar’s share remains small: 1.6 percent of all electricity generation in 2018. That rapid growth is projected to continue.
