There is no reason or excuse why solar power has not been mass produced to the point where it's affordable for everyone. Under the republicans alternative energies took a huge hit, starting back with Regan and the taxing that was added to it. My physics professor in collage had a successful windmill design, built 6 of them and they would produce so much electric that they spent most of the day back feeding it into the local power grid. He was put out of business buy those republicans. Those 6 windmills... 4 are still working today, 30 years later. The other 2 where never allowed to be put up.

While I agree with green power in every way, I was on a nuclear submarine. It's power supply was the size of a baseball and lasted 10 years. The time for expanding that tech is when the economy is better. His pay outs to green jobs has done terrible, it's not about his ideas, it's how they are carried out
I give you the HYBRID, the carbon footprint to build one is in some cases 4 times that of a conventional car, the metals used in the batteries are nasty to the environment.
And if you drive down the freeway at the speed limit, you'll be passed by several cars, when you see a hybrid going over the speed limit, he's getting about the same gas mileage you are.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
