Really?
Inertia may be a factor but paying more for energy is not the answer. People need to see a real reason to pay more and they will move to alternatives. The questionable reasons provided by politically motivated individuals such as the hole in the ozone layer, global warming and other 'reasons" to go green leave much to be discussed.
The world was to be destroyed by the hole in the ozone layer and when the law was passed banning various Freon products the concern about the hole in the ozone layer simply vanished. The changed law did little to reduce the actual use world wide of Freon. What did happen was that DuPont's patent was running out and they lobbied for the law so their new Freon-like product was be the new "required" product. OH, and hole in the ozone layer...not there, not related to Freon, never existed and great example of a political con job. A few years from now the "global warming" fraud will be relegated to the same "it was never real" junk yard. When alternative energies are cost effective then we will move to them. Until then the few (such as myself) who install solar panels and wind generator are attempting be free from the government intrusion that comes with the "greening" of America.
