bushman 2,043 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Me and my friend made this video for our renewable energy course: Let me know what you think All true, but renewable energy is not in plans for oil companies.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 All true, but renewable energy is not in plans for oil companies. Also, solar equipments are still too expensive to buy now.Oil companies spend millions of dollars each year to promote the "global warming is just a myth" BS.You're right, solar panel installation is still very expensive. We're caught in a bit of a dilemma when it comes to solar power right now. The prices won't go down until the market booms and production increases significantly, but the market won't boom until the price goes down. There is some hope with liquid-metal batteries since 60% of the cost of solar systems are the batteries and liquid-metal one will decrease the cost significantly.

Oil companies have no desire to promote an alternative energy. Their share holders do not want it, those who deal, work in oil industries do not want it...etc. Basic solar installation, flat panels, tube solar collectors are costly. For a small house, 20 tubes panel, heat exchanger, retainer tanks, frames, clamps...etc, bottom cost is over 4,000 Eur. It takes over 10 years to break even, savings on energy costs. People do not want to fork out 4 thou for it. They would rather pay 5-8 Eur more monthly, but keep their money needed for solar panels in banks. I have dealt with solar collectors before. My brother owns a company that sells it. Currently, sales are down almost 82 %. CHOULO19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be something we look to integrate into our culture and societies. Not do it just for the money, but for the belief that we need to do it for the sake of our future and the future of our children and grandchildren. All alternative energy makes little sense short-term atm (except maybe wind energy), but we need to change our perspective if we are to avoid a true disaster in the future.

Dion 2,476 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Thank you guys! I still have to study a damn lot for the second exam. Also I'll only be sure I have been approved on december 26.
