>As the Earth heats up at a dangerous rate and fossil fuels become
>scarcer, ordinary citizens and businesses are bypassing the federal
>government to lead the way in exploring a clean, renewable source of
>power: the sun. In this report, NOVA shines a light on how and why
>people across America and the world are "going solar," using radiant
>energy of the sun to power homes, businesses, and even entire
>communities. But can everyday people really make a difference by
>using solar power? And can solar technologies, with their high cost
>and logistical challenges, truly play a bigger role in powering the
>future of humanity? The grand hopes, latest innovations, roiling
>controversies, and practical realities of solar power all come to the
>fore in this program.
