Just having fun speculating and such, how much better would the environment get if the world drove electric cars.. would we physically see a noticeable change?…. I mean, this is obviously not possible in the near future, the whole word driving and being comfortable with electric cars won’t be reached at least for another 50-100 years, but just to satisfy my curiosity.. how much will this benefit our planet?

Green Living Includes Solar Energy for Future Generations
Having solar energy in your home means you are working towards a green living future as well as the future of generations to come. By installing solar energy panels you are not only cutting your electricity consumption you are also using renewable energy which means you are assisting with the global warming crisis.
Electricity is becoming a luxury due to price increases not only in the US but globally. By using electricity we are depleting the planets coal resources. The advantages of solar heating after installation costs are that heat is free and as long as the sun shines you don’t have to pay for electricity.
Once you have installed solar energy to you home you will no longer have to pay electricity as running on solar energy costs you nothing. The money you used to spend on power can now be saved towards other hone improvements. And by having a grid connection your local power services actually pay you for power used from your home.
Worldwide governments are trying to initiate green living by encouraging homeowners to install solar power in order to create a green economy. Renewable energy will save countries taxes as well as give the countries concerned incentives. By installing solar panels one will save up to 80% and many banks will now finance homeowners for the installation of solar panels.
Solar power operates independently and can supply your home with continuous energy however the only time you would encounter a problem is when there is a storm or in some countries where natural disasters occur you would then experience a weak and limited supply of energy.
In many third world countries like Africa where power supplies are extremely unstable the installation of solar panels in every home would reduce the problem and limit current being drawn in excess especially during the winter months by millions of informal settlements and shacks. To date solar power is being installed in hospitals and schools and in addition solar powered turbines for water systems are also being installed which will allow for the basic essentials especially in rural areas.
Green living means sustainable living and in most countries where homeowners have installed solar energy the value of their home increases quite considerably and in many instances tax exemptions are also granted to homeowners. This is a bonus due to the inflation and cost of housing in these deflating times. Homes that have a solar system have a far better change of selling as the new owner won’t have high electricity bills to pay.
By installing solar energy into your home you are not only saving money but you are also preventing harmful toxic emissions which are released into the atmosphere daily from the use of fuel. You will also increase the value of your home and at the same time become a leader whereby other people will follow suit when they see you are living an eco friendly and sustainable life. Your family especially your children will grow up in a healthy environment and will inevitably follow what they have been taught.
