Carbon Neutral


The proposal of making houses carbon neutral is an interesting one. I believe that global warming is occurring, I am not a denier. I believe that we should do what we can to help save the environment, we should be aware of what damage we do. But the figures don't stack up. If you change to solar power then it will take 99 years for you to break-even, if you change to wind turbines then a mere 10 years. I am sorry, I don't know if I will be here in ten years. I don't want to install, move, install, move, and never see the benefit. It would be entirely altruistic to fit renewable energy at the moment, and that is a decision too far.
