Green energy is not a problem. In matter of fact I have seen McDonalds make fuel up stations for electric cars! That was a surprise to me... However, just because you get electricity from a building does not mean it is clean energy. Power plants still run gas, oil and coal.
Now I don't know if you have ever worked by a wind farm, but installing a satellite by one of these things can be a joke. They create High Winds and produce almost no power. Now I am totally against wind power. Plus you have to stick them a fair distance apart to make very little power. When there is no wind, well there is no power.
Solar has a major problem too. I disagree with the government involvment. Everytime I go to work I get to bypass a big huge building called solendra. Bet you heard of them. They were supposed to make solar pannels and turned out to be an empty building. Now I am stuck at looking at an empty building that our tax dollars were spent on.
Back to the subject of solar. Solar only works when the sun is out. Cloudy days you get less power. Night you will get almost nothing. You would need at least 4x the solar pannels for the power you are wanting to run. There are more night hours than day.
Now here is a fact. Companies are investing in solar pannels to help lower their electric bill. This does not shut them off the main line. This is good news, because this means someone is paying for tomorrows technology.
But again the government is not the solution. Just like computers. Imagine if the government locked down the internet and charged people rediculas fees for going to sites? Nobody would be online. Because the internet was free roaming, it was able to develop. So that is the same thing for alternative fuels. Let them run their course. The rich will buy the technology and set the ways for everyone else.
Even game systems have worked the same way. Buy a new console pay 600 dollars for 2-3 years later down to 200-300. As technology grows prices go down.
When was the last time someone had to upgrade their computer?
Unless your a hard core gamer, or a heavy multimedia guru you probably dont.
I don't think the few things I have talked about have there been any serious government involvement. Unless you wanna talk about breaking up monopolys.
