Remember that each of these evil old despots have the backing of the most corrupt industry on the planet, the fossil fuel industry.

Want freedom from fossil fuel fascism?
Stop being captive consumer markets for fascist billionaires.

We've been converting to electric for the last few years. It takes money. I wanted to go solar ten years ago, but we couldn't afford it.

Small plug-in solar panels gain traction as an affordable way to cut electricity bills

For years, solar power at home was mostly limited to people who owned their rooftops and could afford the steep upfront costs.

Already widespread in Germany, the movement is gaining momentum in the United States. Laura Klivans of PBS member station KQED reports.
