Going Green Funds are Not Enough

At the moment if households want to go green and have an alternative power system, they have to invest some money. Of course they will save money in the long run but usually the middle and the low class households have difficulties investing the initial amount in order to put the alternative energy system in place. This is usually the case; those that need most to save money have the least means to do it.

Many governments allocate budgets to encourage their citizens to use alternative energy sources. The main problem with these budgets is that it is far from being enough. The demand for government grants and subsidizes is much higher than what these governments offer.

The main incentive of governments to encourage people to use low rate emission power energy sources is that they are signed on global agreements to reduce the total carbon dioxide emission in order to fight the planet global warming.

In order to assist households using alternative energy power systems like:

Biodiesel home kits for self production

Solar panels

Wind turbines

Governments must increase the going green funds. This is not just a matter of helping the people with their savings and improving their life quality, but it is for the big picture benefits as well:

To have a cleaner planet

To fight the global warming

To support local farmers (renewable energy)

Reduce dependency in Foreign oil companies and states

There are so many good reasons to assist individual household to use alternative and renewable energy instead of energy based on fossil. Governments are starting to go in the right direction but it seems that they are taking it a bit slow.
