The news is simple: solar panels reduce electricity bills and protect against extreme heat. It seems obvious that any government with climate promises would promote them. But the reality is different: while they subsidize fossil fuels with billions, they impose bureaucratic obstacles or eliminate support for domestic solar energy. The hypocrisy is total.
How to Remove Barriers and Boost Solar Energy ☀️
Domestic solar technology is mature and efficient. A 3 kW system can cover 60% of the annual consumption of an average household. The problem is not technical, but political. The solution involves eliminating fossil fuel subsidies and creating direct tax incentives, without paperwork or delays. An automatic tax credit on the income tax return or a VAT reduction would be enough for thousands of households to install panels, reducing energy poverty and heat-related deaths.
Subsidizing What Kills Us and Hindering What Saves Us 😡
It's curious: the same politicians who pose for photos with trees and green slogans then sign million-dollar checks for oil and ask you for three reports, two fees, and a certificate of good solar conduct to put four panels on your roof. Perhaps they think the sun is too powerful a lobby and prefer not to confront it. Or maybe climate change only exists in their speeches, not in their budgets.
