Solar provides a more affordable long-term solution for energy needs. In addition to reducing reliance on significantly more expensive carbon-based fuels, it greatly benefits the land, air, and water. This makes for healthier humans, animals, and the environment. While coal and natural gas produce greenhouse gasses, toxic heavy metals, and particulate matter that can make people very sick, solar produces zero byproducts.
