Does any one know of any government funding for renewable energy systems?

We Answered:

Kudos to you! Some states offer an incentive incentive programs for home owners who generate solar energy and contribute to the power grid. For example, in Massachusetts, the state has a program that pays for 50% of the up-front costs of installing a solar power system. Programs vary from state to state.

Furthermore, if you plan to invest in renewable energy, consider staying connected to the power grid and participate in a program known as "net-metering." Some solar power home owners who currently have solar power contribute their excess power back to the power grid.

In return, they get a price break in their electric bill. Also the excess solar power helps reduce the dependency on fossil fuel and nonrenewable energy in the large scale.

How many years until we get to a Renewable Energy economy?

We Answered:

That depends what percentage you're talking about. If you're talking 100%, it will be a long time. We would need to find a large source of renewable energy capable of providing baseload power, or a good energy storage medium for that to be possible.

In the US, several states are shooting for 20% renewable energy production for 2010-2020. To get up to 50% renewable I'd guess no earlier than 2030, and that would take a concerted effort.
