"is it worthwhile?" isn't about money, its about the terrible things we're doing to the planet and the ways we can help to make sure there's still a planet humans can live on.
Is it?
I'm sat here wondering how Solar Pv, will prevent the Amazonian rainforests from being
chopped down, the seas from being over fished, poachers shooting beautiful animals for
furs, tusks and Chinese medicines, vast palm plantations planted unecessarily to create
palm oil, wars fought worldwide for natural resources etc.
Lots of bad things are happening on this planet, which are caused by greed and have
little to do with anything else.
Lack of education, employment opportunities, political corruption, overpopulation, lack of
food, water, disease, ignorance, greed - these are many of the "real issues".
Solar PV is one of many technologies to help reduce the amount of energy we use.
Using better heating, cooling and lighting technologies, insulation, and more energy
efficient appliances are effective ways to reduce future consumption.
Consequentially leading to lower household bills and a better quality of life.
If your house is warmer in winter and costs less to run, people are less likely to get ill and
more likely to be productive.
The Green political movement attempts to subvert a lifestyle choice into a political
movement / argument to control the behaviour of others, just like any other political or
relgious entity.
Forcing people to change the way they live via subverted political movements,
isnt the way to encourage people to strive to live better lives.
