President Obama mentions facts from our Solar JOOS blog during his State of the Union speech

During this year’s State of the Union address, President Obama used in his speech, facts from our Solar JOOS blog which were provided to us by GTM Research.
In our article “Solar Statistics for 2013,” we provided a fact given to us by GTM Research that every 4 minutes, a new solar system is installed in a home or business. We wrote, “2013 saw a shift to the U.S. becoming a global leader in solar. At our current pace, every 4 minutes, another American home or business goes solar.”
President Obama stated, “we’re becoming a global leader in solar, too. Every four minutes, another American home or business goes solar.”
We’re glad to see the president is putting the focus on the importance of solar energy in America by bringing up these facts and figures in his State of the Union speech. If President Obama is interested in any other solar energy facts, we’d love to provide them to him or direct him to the real experts over at GTM Research.
