Solar panels generated more electricity than coal between April and September 2016 in the United Kingdom. This is great news for the growing solar power movement. According to James Court, head of policy at the Renewable Energy Association, “Solar overtaking coal this summer would have been largely unthinkable five years ago...Now that we have a significant global and domestic industry, solar is one of the cheapest forms of power." Imagine what could happen if government policies and incentives supported renewable energy as the premiere source of energy.
