"THE U-S
SOLAR-INDUSTRY GREW BY 70-PERCENT, IN THE LAST YEAR--AND IS NOW ONE OF
THE FASTEST-GROWING INDUSTRIES IN AMERICA. TODAY, SOLAR-ENERGY
EMPLOYS MORE THAN 100-THOUSAND AMERICANS--TWICE AS MANY AS WE DID JUST
TWO YEARS AGO. AND, THEY WORK AT MORE THAN FIVE-THOUSAND
COMPANIES--ACROSS THE UNITED STATES; MOST OF THOSE COMPANIES ARE SMALL
BUSINESSES. THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THIS YEAR, WE'VE ALREADY
INSTALLED ENOUGH SOLAR-CAPACITY TO POWER 120-THOUSAND HOMES; THIS MEANS
THAT, TODAY, THERE'S ENOUGH SOLAR-CAPACITY TO POWER MORE THAN
600-THOUSAND HOUSES--ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THE U-S
SOLAR-INDUSTRY IS ALSO A NET-EXPORTER: IN THIS LAST YEAR, WE
EXPORTED MORE THAN TWO-BILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN WE IMPORTED; IN
FACT, WE'RE EVEN A NET-EXPORTER TO CHINA. WE CONTINUE TO BOTH
CREATE JOBS AND DRIVE ECONOMIC-GROWTH--THROUGHOUT THE NATION. AND,
WE ARE DEFINITELY ON PACE FOR WHAT WILL BE, BY FAR, THE INDUSTRY'S BEST
YEAR EVER."
