Excuses are around.
have no money, have enough money, have no place, I am too old, I am too young ,do not like it on my roof, EV makes no sound, and so on.
I have put it together
1 solar
2 air to water heat pump
3 insulated water storage tank
4 EV
and save 8000 dollars every year, co2 free, more reliable and comfortable.
the problem is
done and working, and nobody believes it even as they see it.

Companies who are not in the energy business and want renewable energy, don’t need to become energy business companies. Distributed, highly scalable systems of PV panels and solar thermal panels are not hard to find, install and operate. At some locations (usually not in urban centers), small to medium size wind turbine can also help. Lowering grid energy consumption can also come from investing in efficiency (if you need less energy, you don’t have to produce as much). Expertise and know how is on the rise all over the world, so if a company really wants it, it can find the right advice, design and installation of renewables. No more excuses. http://clmtr.lt/cb/zzL0cqR

Question about Britain’s market. If the Hinkley Point reactor gets built and the owners are paid 16c/kWh will this be charged back to the price of electricity?

If so, and it’s enough to raise the cost of electricity for that vendor, can’t people simply move to another supplier? And doesn’t that put the company that has the contractor with EDF/China in danger of losing their customers?

Or would the British taxpayer be on the hook?

Know anything about how it would work?

Of course change is not easy, but when there is a will there is a way. The largest companies should be the leaders as they have resources for training and pushing market and regulatory changes.

This reads like a long list of businessmen’s excuses. Companies that really want to go renewable, like WalMart and Ikea, don’t find it that hard.

“Corporate buyers want to buy clean, renewable power but they can’t buy it directly in many U.S. states.” Solution: unbundle the electricity market in the remaining U.S. states, like Arizona and Georgia, that stick to the regulated monopoly mode. In an unbundled market like Britain, you as customer just ring up Ecotricity or another green supplier and away you go.
