    Solar power installations need to cost roughly the same double glazing or a new roof to be viable. Not only that, but it merely reduces your main consumption, it doesn't replace it totally. Even with a full roof panel you will still need fossil fuel / nuclear energy to keep your household going. The systems are still very much in their infancy.

    Mark my words, it won't be too long before wind farms are revealed as the waste of time and money that they are. They've barely finished installing the sites and already they are causing problems with broken gearboxes and long periods of inactivity, and even when they are active the don't actually generate that much power.

    We're a long, long way (probably 50 - 100 years) from clean renewable energy, but I guess at least we've started somewhere.
