Enrique Said:

why don't government give so much important to solar energy program ?

We Answered:

Our last President was an oil man, our new one wants clean energy, you will see solar become more important. Don't forget, elected officials work for you, it is your responsibility to tell them what you want them to do. Find out who serves your district and write to them often. You can join organizations like 1sky to keep informed about what policies are being voted on and let them know how you want them to vote.

Rosemary Said:

Why did Reagan kill off alternative energy programs and research in the 80's? Why didn't Bush/Clinton revive?

We Answered:

Likely because then, like now, it is a waste of money. There is no use developing something that few will use because it costs four times more then fossil fuels. When it starts getting to the point that fossil fuels really are running out and prices really are getting high, alternate sources will make sense and the money will be spent and most of it will be by energy companies hoping to stay in business.
