The Cost of Doing Nothing
Is it more expensive to implement renewable energy or do nothing? This video, created by Nick Waters from the Florida Solar Energy Center, a research institute of the University of Central Florida looks to answer this question.
Energy retrofits for homes and renewable power generation on the state level are proposed as two steps towards achieving a future of cost effective renewable energy. A list of energy retrofits to perform and an explanation of grid parity is included.
While this video does target Florida, the principles can be applied in other locations.
