Using Existing Home Roofs for ElectricityWe at Zenergy strive to bring a very pragmatic and realistic approach to the question of our energy future. The REAL Question about energy is why are paying so much for something that is basically free and the universe made? This exercise shows us; if we utilize US home roofs as existing acreage for solar panels, forget the HUGE panel forests in the deserts, that we could put out 3 TIMES the amount of energy that ALL non-renewable sources are creating today. This would also be a great job stimulation move as it would be a China/USA based manufacturing play, would create LOTS of US based jobs for assembly, install and maintenance of these sytems. There are ZERO natural resource consequenses of doing this, accept we won't need coal, NG or uranium any longer. However, we can still use uranium for military power. If we really want to make our lives more simple, we can utilze coal as a domestic replacement for crude oil. We have about 450 years of coal. The ENERGY Question isn't about if its possible or how will we survive. Its a matter of the way we want to spend our limited days on this planet. Life is a gift, would be nice if we would give it to ourselves.
