As
part of the greening of America more and more people will be turning
toward solar energy. Most of the people who use alternative energy
and focus on the environment are upper middle class and extremely
well-educated. However, a recent article in the New Yorker points
out that if the move toward alternative energy is to succeed people
from all walks of life must embrace it.
Solar energy requires an initial investment in equipment. However,
after that it pays dividends. Solar cells and solar collectors can
power electrical appliances and heat water.
To attract consumers businesses are advertising their commitment
to solar energy and alternative energy practices. For example, Subaru
makes note of its commitment to the environment. The company does
this to appeal to the consumers who are increasingly turning to alternative
energy.
