The announcement also closely follows the Massey coal mine disaster<\/a>, which has finally pulled the curtain off the true cost of our continued reliance on coal.\u00a0 Climate change deniers are really whistling in the wind when it comes to the energy future of the United States.\u00a0 We are slowly but surely unhooking from the fossil fuel economy and hitching our wagon to a new future that explores heretofore untapped resources, and that means mining the solar power riches of rooftops from coast to coast.<\/p>\n
