Future Trends in Household Energy

Tweet

It's year 2015, john Doe looks at his electric bill: -$200.00 (it's no typo amigo, he's earning!) (his 4-bedroom house is equipped with super efficient solar array and super efficient solar batteries. He sells power back to the electric company) Interesting how it is a matter of costs and pricings that determines the migration into newer energy management equipment for the household Perhaps the new factors are seen: 1. the lower cost for higher efficiency solar panels and batteries 2. the sky-rcketing costs of (dwindling) fossil fuel globally. 3. the policies of electric utilities - perhaps some have started paying households? "I wish I could see that time when millions of people could invest into renewable energy and actually help save the planet while generating income for the home." Perhaps it's a question of how fast the technology can make it happen so that the costs, prices and return figure are right. There would be many implications: social, political, economic. Anyone interested to share views on this?
