美国对日本进行太阳能光伏公共事业之旅

(美国当地7月27日）虽然美国煤,石油和天然气等化石燃料工业继续在美国发展，但目前美国公用事业开始有了利用更安全和更清洁能源的倾向。去年春天，一个公用事业行业研究小组与太阳能技术促进中心合作推动发展太阳能事业向前迈进。本周，太阳能电力协会（SEPA）的派出小组的高级管理人员去日本进行日本太阳能公用事业之旅,以了解更多太阳能并网和普及到社区的安排。

While the fossil fuel industry continues to wreak havoc over the American landscape in pursuit of coal, oil, and natural gas, U.S. utilities have started to make a collective shift toward safer and more secure sources of energy.  Last spring, a utilities industry research group partnered up with the new Solar Technology Acceleration Center to push solar energy development forward. This week, the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) sent a group of top utility executives on a solar tour of  Japan in order to learn more about integrating solar energy into grids and communities.
