What Government can Do

         The government has already recognized the importance of becoming renewable. But we as the people and as a whole can influence the government to dedicate more funds into renewable energy. Renewable energy is quite costly to initiate. The material and cost per material is very expensive. For example, when building a solar panel home system, the typical 5kW residential solar installation cost is $14,000. Commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3-$4 million installed. We can reduce this cost by having government dedicate a certain tax percentage towards renewable energy, and thus it will make these costs decrease. This may seem like a major sacrifice and cut into the United States budget, but it will pay off in the long run like a season ski pass.
        The cut in taxes towards renewable energy could not only reduce the cost for installing renewable energy, but it can also effectively create ads and stress the importance of making the change for renewable energy.
       Goldman Sachs' Stuart Bernstein, global head of clean technology and renewables group, expresses why we need to switch to renewable energy in this following video:

This video isn't the only way of showing the government our need to transition to renewable energy, but you can purchase our T-Shirt, Sticker, and become part of our Facebook group in showing that the people of the United States are in this together.
