How can we make using solar panals more affordable?

We Answered:

I agree we definitely need everyone to switch to solar panels i think people should just fork out the money to pay for them because in the long run it will save them tons of money!

Also i think stores should stop selling the regular light bulbs and only sell the ones that use less energy.

Bill Said:

an idea on how to make solar powered cars, please READ, give insight!?

Sounds like a great idea. But the road solar panels might be too expensive. I don't think the government is ready to spend a vast amount of money for that. I mean, we're in debt to begin with. Not only that, but the holes might collect debris, dust, and rain. So that can become a big issue. Let's not forget about the gas companies. They won't get enough profit if this does happen, causing them to shut down; and I think the US won't let that happen. They would most likely to back up the gas AND oil companies here in America.

As for the solar houses, great idea. That is actually happening. I remember watching the news and a guy has installed solar panels on his roof. He also has a solar-powered car. And that' great for him and the environment. But like you mention, it's a lot of money.

Your first idea sounds great, but it's impossible. I think that won't happen in our life time. I hope I'm wrong, but who knows. We can only try our best to live in a better financial state and environment.
