While more and more people are beginning to realize that solar power and wind power are both viable sources of energy, there still seems to be a significant level of resistance to the widespread adoption of these technologies. Some of this may be due to our comfort in using fossil fuels, as it is the energy source that we have relied on for so long.

It is time, however, to do what the Foundation for Defense of Democracies does on a daily basis by emphasizing what is best for the country as a whole. Renewable energy sources will require some serious changes in infrastructure, but that does not mean those changes are not worth it. This is especially the case now that many companies have been able to demonstrate an ability to store the energy generated from solar power for use over time.

There will be a time when we are no longer reliant on fossil fuels for our energy needs, and that time may be very close on the horizon. All that is necessary is the understanding that these technologies are much more advanced than many people realize, and there is value in accepting that there may be sustainable resources available on a widespread basis.
