Solar panels on House vs Hybrid auto - Which does more for the envirornment?

Question

There are a lot of variables but is there any studies to evaluate which might be a better choice over the other?

Answer 1

Follow the money . The solar cells are too expensive and subject to fail,then u need the storage batteries to store it. U will replace them about every 5 years or sooner. The storage batteries are expensive. This swindle of global warming is against the poor people . The rich are afraid u will use up the fuel and they will not have fuel for their plain.

Answer 2

Solar panels and Hybrid  both  help our environment by either not using energy, creating energy, or using drastically less energy.

Using both would be a great way to help the environment, but you have to consider where you are the most; in your car, or at your home? If you're mostly on the road, then you would probably prefer Hybrid. But if you're mostly at home, then Solar panels.

Me personally; I would choose Solar panels. Just because you then become energy independent in your home, and you don't have to deal with a huge electric bill. The thing about it is that they're awfully expensive.

But if you choose using the Hybrid, I would also recommend you look around at other alternatives. Yes, Hybrid is a great way to go, but it still uses gas. No, not as much as regular cars, but in the end, it will still produce the same amount of CO2 and global warming pollution. Try finding a diesel car and use biodiesel or vegetable oil to help fuel your car. Biodiesel doesn't contribute to the global warming problem, and vegetable oil only spins around the CO2 that's already in the air.

Answer 3

I would imagine it's how much they get used. Solar panels don't burn any fossil fuels other than what it took to manufacture and have them installed. These might have a more positive return for the environment than a hybrid, though I would prefer a car that runs on hydrogen to gasoline. If you were referring to a fuel cell car or similarly electric type vehicle than this would be a plus for it as well. I would prefer a home based hydrogen refueling system linked to a solar panels also.
