In the second quarter of this year, the U.S. solar industry installed 2,387 MW of solar photovoltaics – representing the largest total in a second quarter to date, according to GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association’s (SEIA) latest U.S. Solar Market Insight Report.

Moreover, the report says, this number tops the first quarter’s total and represents an 8% year-over-year gain. Comparatively, the U.S. installed 2,044 MW of capacity in Q1.

“This report shows once again that solar is on the rise and will continue to add to its share of electricity generation,” states Abigail Ross Hopper, SEIA’s president and CEO. “Last year, solar companies added jobs 17 times faster than the rest of the economy and increased our GDP by billions of dollars. We are going to continue to fight for policies that allow the industry to continue this phenomenal growth.”

That's nothing. Just wait till we see revenue from that sweet sweet clean coal money.

But this will only lead to the sun running out of solar energy more quickly

Exactly. At this pace we're going to destroy the sun and it will go dark. Then we'll only be able to see stuff outside when the moon is out and it's not cloudy.

Solar and wind are going to only increase. Costs are coming down. They are building wind farms in Europe now without subsidies, because companies want the contracts.

Let's just hope it is not too late and enough to get rid of coal within our lifetimes.

I guess thats the next venture. Powered by Moonlight.!

Thanks, Obama. Profiting by billions as the loans are repaid, a new and growing industry creating jobs for Americans, and a bit of climate change mitigation.

It's too bad all those coal workers chose a dying industry over a thriving one.
