Will the increased use of solar electricity help solve major environmental problems of today?

will the increased use of solar electricity help solve the major environmental problems of today? why? how?|||Renewable energy practices, including but not limited to solar power, and energy efficiency will be part of the solution to the problem. But we also learn to reuse natural resources and reduce waste.





Utilizing renewable energy, like solar, will end our reliance on fossil fuels and reduce emmissions.





From the very first day it is installed and commissioned, a solar electric (PV) system will produce clean, green electricity. Whatever a system produces reduces its owner’s need to purchase “dirty” electricity produced by burning fossil fuels or harnessing the power of a nuclear reactor. Translating an array’s power production to common measures of energy or energy-related items helps to understand PV’s value. For example, a hypothetical 5kW PV array in New England should produce the equivalent energy of 10-12 barrels of oil each year. This is like saving 10,000 pounds of carbon or greenhouse gas emissions. Another way to express this system’s beneficial attributes is to say the greenhouse gas emissions it offsets are equivalent to planting about 20 mature trees each year, or driving your car about 7,000 miles less than you typically would in a year.|||Not really, unless a lot of people go off grid, but that is not likely, and also not something politicians want to see happen either.





Most major environmental problems are the result of governments not the result of their lack of intervention. Plus the additional factor of money. It costs money to "do" something,|||Yes there are lot of solutions for our problems if the solar power is used.





Even we are protecting the earth from losing the gravity power in a long way. Solar power is a gift of God.





Natural energy for all our needs without any danger, damages, polution and an easy access with low cost.|||It will help reduce some major environmental problems of today. But there are much easier ways of doing that with much less cost. Inflating your vehicle tires to the correct pressure WILL work, no matter what some candidates said. You will most likely save more energy that way than if you bought $20,000 worth of solar panels. $1/week to pump up tires or $20,000.... Do both and you will do twice as much good and pay for the panels faster.|||I'm sure it could definitely help if most people had Solar Panels on their roof tops. However Solar Energy isn't the only "green" energy that could held. Wind, Tidal, etc, could help infinitely. Although it would definitely help if the demand wasn't so big.|||most-likely not, one form of alternative energy is not enough alone to change anything really, there are like trillion people in the world using eccentricity
