Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Renewable energy

I've a question. Just seen politicians claiming green energy is cheaper, no question.
Is it really? If so why have all our energy bills increased massively to fund the subsidies?
Or are they just including nuclear and the ludicrous under estimating of the cost of clearing up after that?
I'm mystified. Please help me out.

I just did the math, and for my business it was a no brainer decision.

Investment: $300,000 to purchase a 1.5kw rated Solar PV system (360 panels)

Investment Tax Credit: 30% making my net cost $210,000.

The system was designed to provide 95% of our annual power requirements. Prior to going solar, my monthly electricity bills varied from $3500 to $5500 per month. Since going solar my monthly bill has been $56 (taxes and fees to support Net Metering). The system will pay for itself in 5 years, and I then have 20 years left under warranty from the manufacturer. Free power vs the inevitable utility rates increases.
