Should solar power be used in campus?

Having the long term goal to build a healthy campus, there are a lot needed to be done. One of them might be choosing solar power to generate power besides hydropower which is already been used. Solar energy is economical. It is also environmental-friendly indeed. It does not produce any emissions and use no fuel. Standing as civic-conscious students of USM, our group strongly suggests that solar energy to be used as an alternative for power sources. We hope that this could be done to prevent more emissions to be produced and perhaps can help the university to save some costs for electricity. In fact, the hot weather in Penang is quite suitable to apply solar power cell in campus. Lots of heat energy can be gathered and transformed into energy. This will be a good option to apply one more practice for renewable resources usage in campus.
