96% less carbon intensive than coal and 93% less carbon intensive than natural gas

The U.S. still generates over 60% of its energy from fossil fuels. Solar panels, though not without their own environmental challenges, are 96% less carbon intensive than coal and 93% less carbon intensive than natural gas. By making the switch to solar energy, you’re not only fighting climate change by offsetting the use of brown energy, but you’re also increasing the independence and resilience of your local community by relying less on traditional utilities. https://www.ecowatch.com/solar/worth-it#sec4
