Solar Power

I think I will learn more about solar power and one of the items that sparked this additional interest was a featured article from World Changing, which was in the email newsletter that I received this week. The article was titled: Scaling Up Solar: The Global Implications of a New Study that Says Solar Power Is Cost Competitive with Nuclear Power. It was interesting that now in North Carolina solar power can be cheaper than nuclear power. There is a wrinkle in this and that is that tax credits, etc. are part of what makes this happen and part of why this price equity does not happen in every jurisdiction since each place in the US (and the world) has its own set of policies, taxes, etc. that impact this.

This article was a good starting point for my interest in this so look for more upcoming posts about solar power.
