Ethosolar Inc. study of heath costs created by fossil fuel energy burning vs. Solar Power Systems….Result: The healthy money is moving to Solar.

(U.S.A.) The Environmental Protection Agency rule (Dec. 11. 2011), the most expensive under review by Obama’s administration, would force energy producers to install pollution-control devices or close coal plants. “This has been 20 years in the making,” Lisa Jackson, the EPA administrator, said today at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington. “This is a great victory for public health, especially for the health of our children.”

Solar Power Systems: Shutdown due to not meeting EPA standards…. 0

The rule, proposed in March, caused a split within the electric industry, with companies such as Atlanta-based Southern and American Electric Power Co. saying it would force them to retire needed plants. Proponents such as Chicago-based Exelon Corp. say they spent billions of dollars on pollution controls and natural-gas plants, anticipating new rules, and want competitors to make the same investments.

The EPA says the standard, estimated to cost $9.6 billion a year. It will also boost employment as power producers install scrubbing systems made by companies such as Babcock & Wilcox Co. or Alstom SA, the agency said.

The EPA proposal incorporates three separate limits: one for mercury, a second for acid gases and a third for particulate matter, which is used to target toxic emissions of metals such as chromium, selenium and cadmium, all of which has health effects that poison the human body.

Solar Power Systems: Toxic Gas Emissions…. 0

Solar Power Systems: Toxic Metal Emissions.…0

E.P.A. In its March proposal, it said the regulation could prevent 17,000 premature deaths from toxic emissions.

Solar Power Systems: Number of deaths due to toxic emissions….0

Going Solar is no longer just about stopping “Pollution”, “Saving” the planet, “Reducing” healthcare costs and most importantly “Saving” lives, it’s become a viable, profitable business.  The Best of Both Worlds! We think so.
