In the Land Down Under with our abundant sunlight, and we do so little with it.
In Victoria we give enormous subsides to the dirty black and brown coal industry each year. Lets take half of that subside and give it back to the consumers in the same fashion as the Water Tank industry (previously discussed).By encouraging people to have Solar Panels on their roofs by the use of taxation benefits and rates penalties we could more than keep pace with domestic use.
It would encourage employment, manufacturing of the solar panels etc along with the increase in Electricians and apprenticeships. With the ongoing maintenance required by the systems, this will provide ongoing employment.
Solar Panels proportional to the building size and the occupancy should be made compulsory for all new buildings.If we were able to create 50% of our domestic energy from Solar, how much of a difference would that make in the reduction of black coal necessary for power?
Would we then be able to introduce the same type of system for industry (warehouses, factories etc…)?Electricity prices are going to go up with the scarcity of fossil fuels, the extra cost of reducing green house gases and the like. We can provide a way to reduce these costs by the full introduction of solar panels. We can have the public pumping electricity back into the grid.
Yes the Government does and has had a solar energy rebate program for 2% of properties, not investment properties and not companies. Now are we serious or not? This should be introduced for everyone. Let’s started to hit some of our environment objectives, and in doing so we may even achieve some economic ones.
We can’t just talk about these environmental objectives, we need to commit to achieving them. We can’t control the world we can only control ourselves. Let’s not wait for the world let’s do what is right, and let the world follow.
In summary:-
1. Introduce compulsory Solar Panels on all houses
2. Use the Tax & Rates system to encourage people and businesses
3. No exclusions to the rebate program
4. Reduce black/brown coal consumption immediately
5. Increase manufacturing, increase employment, increase apprenticeships.
6. Lets do the right thing, and do it now.

Solar Energy is one of the best ways to get clean energy. Today the efficieny of solar power is a bit low but with advances in technology, solar cells will become more and more efficient in harnessing the energy of the sun.

im constantly scurrying all around the online world the majority of the morning which means I choose to browse a whole lot, which is not usually a good thing as a great number of the internet sites I discover are composed of unnecessary crap copied from similar websites a trillion times, however I have to give you credit this webpage is in reality quite informative and also possesses a lot of genuine information, therefore many thanks for breaking up the trends of just copying other peoples’ websites, bye for now
