Solar Panel on Every roof top ?
We live in a desert and burn crude/gas to produce electricity. We enjoy year round sun shine and some of the hottest weathers around the globe. There is a massive potential for solar technology in the gulf. I know the setup cost is huge but I think the government needs to do something about it. May be subsidize a bit?
I mean make it mandatory for new building to have a certain number of solar panels linked to its grid. Offer incentives for residents who install solar panel in their balconies. I am sure the saving is going to take time to recover but at the end of the day its worth it. The oil in this world is limited and the prices are going to go only one way and that is up. It might not go up tomorrow but the trend is upwards. A barrel of oil saved today might be worth much more after a year or two.
I am a strong advocate of decentralized energy production. I am not sure how it is going to be implemented but it has to be done.
