 DISCUSSION: As various global population centers and the global economy continues to move further into the 21st century, there is little to no debate that there is a continued global concern in regard to global energy production, consumption and overall demand. As a result of these concerns, many communities, cities, states and nations around the world are already beginning to take preemptive actions to prepare for what is going to continue to be an increasingly more troublesome future if actions are not taken with respect to energy-based needs. Whether it is investing in energy star or at least some variety of energy efficient house-hold items and corresponding everyday household electronics, there are most definitely a host of different ways in which anyone can help to make a difference in terms of how we all help to lessen our burden on planet Earth’s precious natural resources.
One such example of actions which can be taken at a local, state, regional, and even a national level is the more commonplace integration of solar panels in favorable locations all around the world. There are several reasons for why the installation of solar panels is a marquee approach to helping to contribute towards a more sustainable future for planet Earth. First, many different types of solar panels (depending on the nature of the specific solar photovoltaic technology embedded within a given variety of solar panel) can not only offset electric, oil, or even natural gas demand, but many types can also accumulate saved surplus solar energy for periods when there may not be nearly as much sunshine in a given region for some given duration of time. Thus, not only can they lessen demand in Spring to Summer-time periods when there often is a greater prevalence of sunny conditions in many favorable regions of the world across many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, but they can also help to lessen fossil fuel-based energy needs during the Fall to Winter-time months when the greatest demand exists for non-renewable energy resources. Moreover, across many states across the contiguous United States as well as across several parts of Europe and Asia, there are various government-based policies which will reward individuals and families who choose to have solar panels installed by awarding them a given financial subsidy to offset the up-front costs associated with initial installation and the overall set up process. Therefore, as we have now reached the first day of Meteorological Winter, it is a great time to consider making such an investment for your own situation since it may save you a lot of money in the weeks, months, and years to come. Moreover, you may be surprised as to how much federal support you may be able to receive to help make the financial demands less arduous. As always, just by doing the little things in life can go a very long way in making a pronounced difference in the overall impact both you, your family, your friends, and even colleagues may have through just speaking to them about such avenues of energy-friendly living and lifestyle choices that often will not “break the bank.” To learn more about other global environmental topics, be sure to click here! © 2018 Meteorologist Jordan Rabinowitz
