Solar power is part of our future – Kankakee Daily Journal

Solar and wind farms aren’t going away anytime soon. Although green energy is the wave of the future not only in the U.S. but in the world, it has raised the ire of homeowners and some politicians.

Kankakee County and the surrounding region has seen an uptick in the building of solar and wind farms. Homeowners and businesses are beginning to see the benefits of green energy, and we applaud those efforts. There will continue to be arguments for and against the burning of fossil fuels and its impact on climate change, but that’s a fight for another day.

What solar can provide for homeowners, businesses and schools and churches is a savings in the ever-increasing energy costs. We’re all for saving money while also helping preserve the environment for future generations.
