Merc, This is the new religion you are talking about, asking for empirical evidence....... I can see the sense in having say a solar source of power for certain things but that's all it will ever be considering our present level of technology. This was something I was looking at as a business idea but the equipment and ancillary work is far too complex at the moment. I don't think you can underestimate the level of support Gov and local authorities will be giving this initiative and that bias corrupts the fundamental economics of the situation. The macroeconomics might be compromised in the short term but there might even be justification somewhere along the line considering our dependence on fossil fuels.
