“…[T]he sun could be the planet's biggest source of electricity by 2050…[and the increasingly strong appetite for solar in the UK has led to the building of what it likely] the largest floating solar panel array in Europe.

Recent data shows U.S.] solar beat natural gas capacity additions for the first time ever, with 29.5 percent of all new electric generating capacity met by solar power in 2015…” click here for more
