A whopping
89 percent of Americans think it's important for the U.S. to develop and use
solar power, according to a research survey
published by the Solar
Energy Industries Association (SEIA). For the fourth consecutive
year, the survey found that about nine out of 10 Americans strongly favored
solar energy. The statistics are particularly telling in this fourth year,
however, because the survey took place following the much publicized Solyndra
bankruptcy.
Further research
from SEIA predicts America's love affair with solar energy will
continue over the next two years. The association says some analysts predict
the U.S. will become the world's largest solar market by 2014. In addition,
solar is already the fastest growing energy sector in the U.S. and will likely
be the largest source of new energy capacity in America by 2014.
