Despite advances in renewable energy technology, fossil fuels dominate due to economic factors rather than a lack of options. Individuals and companies generally do not transition to renewable energy solutions without clear financial benefits, as the initial costs and perceived risks outweigh the advantages. The current energy system limits consumer control and keeps small energy producers disadvantaged, hindering the economic viability of personal renewable energy solutions. For genuine progress in the energy transition, tangible incentives and economic shifts are crucial.
It's naive to believe that simply understanding the consequences of fossil fuel dependence will be enough to drive change.
From a pragmatic standpoint, generating your own energy is still a tough sell.
People don't switch to cleaner energy because they read an IPCC report. They switch when the numbers make sense.
Without real, tangible incentives, the energy transition will remain an aspiration rather than a reality.
