Especially if it requires hard to find fuel – like hydrocarbons. Solar radiation is infinitely available at no additional cost. There will never be energy cheaper than solar on planet earth! One you have your solar panels and you have some batteries to store excess energy generated from your panels, your prices are fixed from purchase. No other scheme will get you cheaper energy. In the UK we often complain about the cost of solar panels but the average households has spent in the last 3 years almost enough money on energy bills to pay for a solar + battery package (average energy bills have been hovering above £1500 for the last 3 years and will probably stay that way for at least another 2 years).
Protect your family from the “market” that is the energy market by taking control and generating your own energy. There are many ways to get solar + battery or other renewable energy systems.
