Leading energy companies are intent on pushing the world in the opposite direction, expanding fossil fuel production and insisting that there is no alternative. It is evidence that they are motivated not by record warming, but by record profits, experts say.
Yes, 60%. I just said that.
i.e. the majority.
That statistics might be true, but at the same time 90% of US households have at least one car, and about 60% have 2. Installing solar panels is roughly cash neutral or even positive depending on location. You can take a bank loan and install the panels and the payment back to bank will be comparable to savings you get from not paying for electricity.
Oh sure, that’s what Americans need. Even more debt. Great idea.
What’s the difference of paying debt vs paying for electricity if you pay the same amount?
Can you prove that it’s the same amount?
Many people do that because it is economically beneficial for them. Do you think that most solar panels on the house roofs are done because people want to be green?
That is not proof that it’s the same amount. Is the debt plus interest the same amount as you save in electricity? Can you demonstrate this claim?
In most cases, installing residential solar panels is worth it.
That says nothing about going into debt. It certainly doesn’t say that’s a good idea.
