For a country that’s not exactly known for its plethora of sunny days, those Brits sure are excited about solar energy. Hundreds of individuals, companies, and nonprofits – including Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, and 200 MPs – have already endorsed the U.K.’s We Support Solar campaign.
And the roster of solar groupies just increased by plus one, with “nu-rave” band the Klaxons’ recent announcement that they too have joined the campaign.
The We Support Solar campaign wants solar power to play a key role in helping the U.K. achieve its goal to source 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020.
The Klaxons are doing their part by recording the follow-up to their 2009 Mercury award-winning album – Myths of the Near Future – at the Premises in London, Europe’s first 100% solar-powered recording studio. Other artists who have recorded sun-fueled albums include Lily Allen, Block Party, and Hot Chip.
I am tempted to make a “the future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades” joke here, but I won’t. Even though I just kinda did.
