I'm a climate change skeptic and I have a solar system. To me it's more about common sense! In this country you have masses of sunshine, so use it! It's also great use of my roof! 8) I have watched/listened to both sides of the story and I believe that you have to do what you are comfortable with. I had to pay to get the solar system put on my home which cost me $$$ up front, and for that I expect it to return something for my cash outlay. I don't really think anyone that hasn't installed a system can attack me for spending money and stimulating the economy. ^-^ The feed in tariff (FIT) is not guaranteed for the future so I had to take a risk! I think you'll find that the politicians privatised the power grid and claimed at the time that prices would not rise and yet the same people are in control over the solar rebates. Funny that eh. Also in regards to the climate, the planet is millions of years old, and we are just a blip on it's evolutionary radar. Looking at 1000 years of data isn't going to tell you anything, but it might increase the chances of panic, and for the governments to increase taxes on the sly. I'm also a firm believer of not destroying the place that we live. I think we should clean up our act, because we are only one of many species living on this planet. We pollute the seas, water ways and bulldoze whatever we need to clear to build houses/factories etc without a care in the world for anything else but our own gain. Maybe we need to rethink our existence as a species or there won't be anything left to enjoy after all our hardwork. :tearhair:
