U.S., Wake Up!!!

From I fucking love science:

Congratulations to Germany for breaking their own record last month in harnessing solar energy!

By the end of 2012, Germany was ranked #1 for solar energy production per capita at 400 MW per million people while the United States was ranked #20 with only 25 MW per million people.

The United States is expected to double their usage of solar power by the end of 2015….
