I'm a huge fan of renewables. Basically the technology is hear to go 100% green. What's really missing are big government incentives to speed up the process. That's something that really makes me sad.
There is nothing wrong in supporting the renewables. But you must be ready to pay the price. For example, electricity from the thermal power plants cost around $0.03 per KWh. The same from solar panels cost at least $0.10 to $0.20 per KWh. Are you ready to pay the increased price?
Nope not unless it is on the taxpayer dollar and by that I mean subsidized cost an example being subsidizing the cost of changing a lightbulb although most green investments take years to recoup even with some rebates. Installing a new water heater unless your old one is really old is a good example even the solar panels unless you can sell back to the grid at a premium.
