if we use solar powerd energy 50 years from now how will out enviroment be like? look like?

Although it is technically possible to have a virtual paradise on earth if we used solar power exclusively. We could even still use gasoline and diesel powered cars running on synthetic gasoline and diesel made from CO2 and H2O with solar power (Sandia Labs Sunlight to Petrol project). But will it happen? The problem with solar power is that it's decentralized and hence companies can't charge a monthly bill for it. Sure they can make money installing it but as with cell phones and alarm systems, it's the monthly bill that they make money on and they would gladly give the equipment away if they could charge a monthly fee. A corollary is WiFi internet, technically we could all interconnect our WiFi cells and have an Internet without a monthly payment but the cable companies and phone companies don't want us to do that, they want us to pay them a monthly fee for our Internet. It would be up to the public to circumvent the desires of the corporations but as with the WiFi, the public aren't even aware of the potential.

The problem has never been technological.

solar power and wind energy will help the environment by using natural resources and not wasting.We don't have to use other natural resources such as minerals and it would save a lot of time and effort.we should be more compassionate of mother nature.
