An Oklahoma City solar home installer is an energy professional who actually isn’t in the oil business. The solar business is the future in a very real way, and installers are part of the future of our energy economy. Along with the manufacturers of panels and wiring, they stand to help usher in the new age of energy production that the world desperately needs.
And a new age of energy is exactly where we stand today. The fossil fuel age began when we realized that we could not hunt whales and chop down trees to fuel our economies: we would run out of both whales and trees before long. At the time, the switch to a fuel source that could be simply pumped out of the ground was a watershed concept. There was no hunting, no growing, the energy was just there for the taking.
What we didn’t account for at the time was that since we did nothing to create the oil, we were stuck with a finite supply of it. When it ran out, we couldn’t make more. We have been steadily eating into that fixed supply of oil ever since making that transition, and we are nearing the point at which a new form of energy needs to be available to take the place of primacy in our homes and businesses. Solar home installers are betting that solar power is that energy source, and with good reason. The sun gives us more than enough energy each hour to power all of our energy needs for an entire year. The capacity is there, we just need to create the means of harnessing it.
