20 Aug The Impact of Residential Solar Power on Climate Change
There are so many different areas where greenhouse gases are released. Currently, the United States is doing what they can to decrease the amount of greenhouse gases that are released into the environment. This means that some of our largest corporations are looking for new ways to power their warehouses and production sites. Clean, renewable energy is the future. Residential homes make up about 13% of the United States’ greenhouse emissions. With this information, we need to do everything we can to make our more homes rely on clean, renewable energy.
