About the costs of installing solar PV or wind systems on your home.
Regarding costs, look at it as the percentage return you get on your money.
4 years ago I installed a 3 kw roof PV system (see picture below). Thanks to the ideal angle and direction of the roof, the return is a whopping 11%. Try to get this from an investment company - - never!
As per Energy experts like Khosla or Ehrenpreis: "Forget about wind farms and solar plants run by conventional utility companies. In the new energy regime, the people are the utilities and their houses are the power plants.”
Supplement a PV system with one of the smaller, literally noiseless, wind turbines, and you have enough electricity to charge a plug-in hybrid plus some for your neighbor. Connect the houses via an "intelligent grid" (as defined by the prestigious Rocky Mountain Institute, RMI), and you don't need humongous power lines to bring in electricity.
Many of the "questions" about alternative energy production are not real, but seeded by the coal and nuclear industry.
Germany just released data to show that a single act of supporting alternative energy production created in excess of 130,000 jobs.
Still think that Nuclear is the way to go? Listen to RMI scientists testify in Washington.
Government should never construct energy facilities (like nuclear reactors) itself; using the amount of money a nuclear reactor would cost as additional incentives to motivate people to install wind or solar PV, would result in 2 million homes with alternative electricity devices, WITH THESE DEVICES (PV or WIND) PRODUCING 4 - - FOUR - - TIMES AS MUCH ELECTRICITY ONE NUCLEAR REACTOR WOULD PRODUCE.
