We are in the middle of a huge transition,
Many U.S. states are waving bye to the past,
No to greenhouse emissions,
And yes to natural gas,
And solar power,
Change is emerging,
Solar panel demand is surging,
By the hour,
This year, homeowners and developers installed 1.3 gigawatts of solar panels in the first quarter,
The second-largest total on record due to thousands of residential and commercial orders,
According, To the Solar Energy Industries,
When compared to last year, this is a 79 percent increase,
With the total annual installations expected to reach,
6.6 gigawatts,
Based on residential rooftops,
And utility projects,
Researchers project,
A continuous rise in the use of solar energy,
With affordable solar panel leasing and financing options catching owners eyes,
This could mean the demise of coal and many other heavy pollution creating industries,
Right now, as I speak,
In terms of solar panels, California, New Jersey and Arizona are in the lead,
This leaves,
Many other states that rely heavily on coal,
Scrambling to either fight for the status quo or make the switch to solar and natural gas,
This just shows,
That sometimes you have to let go of the past,
In order to make room for a better future.
Don't Waste Our Planet
