This is just a great graphic. So what is the difference between an oil spill and a solar spill?
A solar spill is a good thing, a very nice day-- for years to come. Because solar energy is renewable, inifinitely available from the sun and means that by using PV renewable energy, we are creating 'nice days' now and long into the future, a wonderful gift for future generations.
Alternately, an oil spill results in not only in a very bad day, but very bad days for years and even for generations to come.
