They are making solar power in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Last spring I visited my sister in Haverhill, and we strolled past a large brownfield site being cleaned up and solar cells being lined up. The system is almost ready to get started. I hope it works as planned. National Grid is putting up the solar cells. It is on Hillside Avenue, near downtown. According to the paper it will provide enough electricity to power 175 to 200 homes per year.
Solar energy also gives you a level of reliability and security that other energy sources can't match. When your neighbors don't have power due to an outage, you won't be affected since your home generates it's own electricity and heat.
