Question

How can people implicate solar energy into a more common societal way?

Answer 1

Start small, let all your friends and neighbors see it and well it works.

Here is some links for low cost ways to do this.

Answer 2

Help fund a solar project. CoolingEarth.org is working on 5 projects right now. Today here is what we know:  many of mankind’s advancements cause earth surface to warm, destroy the ozone layer, kill off endanger species, heat cities, and in some way cause more destruction.  Blacktop (roads and parking lots), buildings, air pollution (causes lung and other diseases), deforestation, duststorms (which increase hurricanes and cyclones and cause lung diseases), fires (cause pollution, mud slides, and deforestation), refrigerants (like CFC's), solvents (including benzene destroy the ozone layer raising skin cancer rates); cars, airplanes, ships and most electricity production (causes pollution including raised CO2 levels) are problems we humans need to fix! That is why I founded CoolingEarth.org, a geoengineering web sight. The federal government needs to adopt a pollution surcharge to balance the field and advance new technologies. We must pay the real price of oil including global warming and for health effects. But with that we must understand we have never seen what is now happening before. CO2 has never lead to temperature change, but temperature change has led to increases in CO2. The models have to be made as we go along with little evidence! The result is:  change is on the way, we just do not know what changes. Even natural events are warming earth and causing destruction. The sun has an increased magnetic field causing increases in earthquakes (more destruction), volcanoes (wow, great destruction), and sun spots. Lighting produces ozone near the surface (raising air pollution levels). But humans have destroyed half of the wetlands, cut down nearly half of the rain forest, and advance on the earths grasslands while advancing desertification. The USA Mayor's have taken a stand and I believe are on the right track, we can have control and can have economic growth. With the peak of oil in the 1970’s, the peak of ocean fishing in the 1980’s, humans must stop procrastinating and make real changes in energy debate, finance and regulation. The sun is available to produce energy. Composting is the answer to desertification. New dams are the answer to fresh water storage and energy.

Answer 3

"Supposedly" solar panels installed within someones house is suppose to possibly save someone 50 percent or more in energy costs. Solar panel companies boast that 90 percent of your energy needs will be supplied by the sun, the other 10 percent you pay for in your monthly Electric bill.

Even a better idea is it quote on qoute "eliminates the need for constant use of a boiler" which produces over 75% of a households harmful components that affect our climate (ie global warming)

Now wow your like right now great sign me up I want some right?

We'll I hope your bill gates because each panel is suppose to cost between 4-5k or more and then around 5-7k to have it professionally installed. A supply of 4 panels is recommended for a 90 percentage energy conversion to solar energy and saving you money over 10 years.

Besides having half your roof covered in solar panels (in some cases parts of the roof may be cut out, I've seen in some pictures, don't ask me why) it is recommended you change the panel outside window every 2 years to insure quality. The panels are very sensitive and take punishment from wind, etc. Lets jack up that window pain to be between 1000-1500 dollars just for the window. Now lets add the the installation of these windows, 4-5k more.

What does this all equal over 10 years? A whole lotta f**king money.

If this isn't pleasant enough, you know the government always needs to have its greedy hands in our pockets, possibly imposing a tax on use of solar panels.

True it does cut down greatly on production of harmful content coming from ones own home that messes with the atmosphere (ozone layer etc). But is it really worth paying all this money? Would you pay this all this money for it?

Solar panels are a huge waste of time and effort. I love the environment but I also loving be debt free with a roof over my head even more!.  I feel the same with hybrid cars.  THey are a waste of money and we need alternatives to it.  Electric cars was better but they got out of style and wasn't heard from again.
