There are two types of energy, ionizing and non ionizing. It's the ionizing stuff like nuclear that dislodges nuclie and causes radiation sickness and genetic damage. X-rays are also ionizing so their use should be minimized.
There have been some studies linking health hazards to non ionizing radiation like power lines and cell phones, but they have never been repeatable, which makes them bogus. At any rate, those sources are AC and solar panels are DC and there is zero risk from radiation of a DC source.

oping for more and maybe someday all will have the ability to stall their own solar panel for better energy source. And it will be great if it can really be a sustainable source for everyone.

This is great news for WV, but it makes me wonder why haven't the states the get over 275 days of sunshine get on the bandwagon? What energy powers have a grip on states like New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and Texas, for example? Arizona boasts of 300 or more days of sunshine per year, where are all the solar panels? It is a shame every roof isn't a solar roof.

What is news is the Pacific NW has a huge installed base, including me! If I recall, Germany is by far #1 and they are as far north as Canada.
I finally talked to the other solar home in our subdivision and found she installed in 2002 paying $12K for 3KW, while I paid $15K for 10KW, (both self installed). Prices have fallen even more drastically since I purchased.

I like the fact the panels are manufactured and installed here in the US.

So I wanted to share this good news story. Colleges and Universities across the country are involved in a
"Billion dollar green challenge."
Story here.

"ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Covering nearly 300 football fields in a remote patch of desert, the Shams 1 solar project carries off plenty of symbolic significance for the United Arab Emirates.
It will be the first, large-scale solar project in the oil-rich country when it is completed at the end of the year, and the largest of its kind in the Middle East. At full capacity, the 100-megawatt, concentrated solar project will be able to power 20,000 homes."
