Until the govt. stops handing money to solar companies for nothing...and starts paying them to INSTALL solar panels on every home in the U.S. ... I question things.
Too bad that more people don't question these things.
The govt. RULES over us and tells us to live as primitively as possible. Meanwhile THEY live it up and don't even try to pretend they are "conserving" energy.  |
Hi Robby,
The governments (yours and mine) already offer a huge incentive to go green. They give you $8000 towards the purchase of an electric car (up to $8500 in some states), and they also pay you up to $1000 to purchase a home charger and for extra wiring. The do this because the pollution savings on electric cars is significant.
Solar panels are cool but they are not worth the money just yet. They are very expensive and not terribly efficient yet.
It makes more sense for any investor such as the government, to invest in technologyes that improve solar panel performance, and reduce the dependancy on oil where it is the most inefficient (like cars).
I agree with you that it would be nice to see them use electric cars, but then again Limo's are very big and heavy, especially when they are armoured.
