Airline Carbon Trading - Coming Soon?

We Answered:

Yup. Under the rubric of evironmental resposibility and carbon neutrality, everyone flying to Europe will eventually be funding the bloated and useless bureaucracy.

Why solar energy is not used in Africa?

We Answered:

I'm answering this from Botswana using a small solar panel(150 USD), and satellite internet. The small panel is enough to power 5 energy saving bulbs, laptop, and charge cell phone for 5 or so hours per day (We do have cellphones in Africa). Its used small scale everywhere i work in A. but like the rest of the world very few big projects. Capital outlay,and storing the energy are challenges. The 12 V lead/acid battery I'm using is not a good answer for big projects, not green either

Why is solar energy not being developed cheaply to save the world of pollution?

We Answered:

I am a electrician and ask myself that everday..They don't even offer any low cost loans or grants. They only offer a federal income tax credit in the state in the usa i live in. I want to put solar pannels on the roof but it would be 10-20k with me doing it myself.
