Today everybody knows that there’s something wrong with the way our climate changes. But the question is what are we going to do about it …
One of the solutions is to generate power from renewable sources of energy, for example solar power. But this must be stimulated by the governments because for the moment it’s a luxury only few can afford.
The problem is that the solar-energy technology keeps improving but the costs are falling down slowly.

For example people in the United State even those with the best intentions aren’t going to switch onto solar energy. This would cost up to $65,000 at best with a $12,000 worth of local assistance plus a $2,000 federal grant. All this for saving $75 electricity a month. It’s more like a status symbol then it’s about being concerned about our climate.
Nevertheless now is the moment to try and persuade people to switch over to solar-energy because of the high energy prices and the fact that global warming is more in the media than ever. A lot of people are willing to adjust their way of live but it has to be at a reasonable price. So it’s up to the governments to stimulate this as much as possible. Like the Belgian governement who gives out green certificates to support solar-energy.

I think going solar is a very good thing for the climate, but like the article says, the government has to stimulate people by giving more fiscal advantages and subsidies. Nowadays you can't earn back what you invested in the solar panels, so if they can change that, it will be used by many people because in that case, it would be a good investment and it would be good for the climate.
