A new report from Environment Minnesota outlines a vision for 10 percent of the United States' total energy to be generated by solar power by 2030.
The report describes how solar energy can repower America's homes, businesses and industries through a wide variety of solar technologies and tools.
From laundromats to universities and homes to cars, solar energy has the ability to enhance energy security and reduce pollution, according to the report.
The report outlines a few examples of how solar energy is already being used to reduce business' costs and pollution. Included in the examples are Walmart's use of skylights in some stores, which has reduced the need for electric lighting by 15 to 20 percent.
The Boston Red Sox have also adapted solar water heating to reduce dependency on natural gas for water heating for their laundry facilities.
