Why cant we install Wind Turbines and/or Solar Panels all throughout America for our Energy needs?

Because they are afraid that someone like the Reagans will want to move in and ask that they be ripped off before they do. http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/thepreside... There is not a particular need to build a house with PV solar panels installed. They can always be installed later if there is sufficient room and orientation.

If what you are considering is some way to make the installation of solar panels possible, efficient and easier there are several building codes for new homes that could be instituted to promote solar panel installation: 1. Siting of all new homes could require a minimum square foot area (relative to the size of the house) that is south facing (in the northern hemisphere.) 2. The pitch of the south facing roof should be optimal for the latitude 3.

Some conduit should be provided between the south facing roof and the electric service and panel 4. The electric service equipment should be installed in such a way so that nothing would have to be removed (except the electric meter for net and time of use metering (but the meter pan should be acceptable for all kinds of meters) The additional cost for these features would be negligible and more than outweighed by the potential savings. The question of solar thermal panels to supply hot water might be completely different.

In parts of the world (Israel and Spain) a solar hot water system is mostly required. If we did the same in the US we could reduce the use of fossil fuels. Because such systems now suffer from not enough customers mandating their installation would lower the price and give it a chance against fossil fuel systems that benefit from externalities.

In this case it is the the fossil fuel industry that creates resistance to change.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
