2013 Marks Record Year for Solar Power in US

http://www.enn.com/business/article/47128
In 2013 4751 megawatts of photovoltaic cells were installed.  This was a 41% increase from 2012, which shows the US, although we are way behind many countries, is moving a step in the right direction towards renewable energy.  By the end of 2013 there were more than 445,000 solar energy systems that were creating  renewable electrical power--enough to power more than 2.2 million average US homes.  Solar energy will hopefully become mainstream in the US very soon.  This is a step in the right direction for the US, however the journey towards a sustainable and renewable future is still a long one.
