So, in other words: people don't think of what is best in the long run, and saving money is more important than having a planet to live on.

Exactly what I was thinking...

Yeah, it costs money, what a surprise. But isn't it better in the long run?

It's not that bad. In Spain wind power is the no1 energy source atm:

I don't think Spain spent THAT much money on it, right? 5 of the 17 regions of Spain get over half of their energy from renewable sources and a couple of them are close to 100% now. This is very feasible, I don't get why money is such a big issue.

Also, what you spend on building the thing you save on importing fuel in the long run anyway.
