Reasons To Take Advantage of Solar Energy on Your Own Rooftop

Reading through my local Sunday paper highlights reasons enough to press on toward incorporating solar energy on my own rooftop.

One issue (of many) the new mayor of San Antonio, Texas faces is energy. According to this article in the San Antonio Express-News, the Mayor Castro is being asked by the local energy provider, CPS Energy, to raise electricity rates anywhere from 25 to 50 percent over a period of 10 years.

Of course, included in this conversation is the construction of two new nuclear reactors. And according to the news article, CPS officials believe electric energy customers should carry a large percentage of the cost of building those nuclear reactors.

So, while an instant conversion to solar energy would be pricey up front, the advantage is having no worries about your electricity rates going up in the future.

And make no mistake.

The price of electric energy WILL go up.
