Government’s reluctance to embrace solar power has residents scratching their heads
In a shocking turn of events, the government of England has refused to make panels on new homes mandatory, despite solar being the cheapest form of electricity.
Many residents are confused by this decision, as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has confirmed that solar power is the most cost-effective and eco-friendly way of generating electricity.
In just 30 years, solar energy has gone from being an expensive and unlikely saviour to a front-runner in the quest to save our planet from climate change. Solar panels can be installed in just one day, and can even provide hot water. Plus, the surplus energy can be stored in a battery for later use.
With minimal maintenance required (due to having no moving parts), it seems like a no-brainer to switch to solar energy. But what’s stopping the government from mandating it?
Some speculate that the rainy weather in England may be a factor, but this theory has been debunked by experts who claim that solar panels are still viable, even on cloudy days.
We reached out to the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, for comment, but he was too busy trying to comb his unruly hair to respond.
In the meantime, residents are left to wonder why their government continues to drag their feet on embracing solar power. Perhaps they’re too busy watching reruns of The Office? We may never know.
