Living in a modern world I see on social media, etc. world melting, CO2 production associated topics.
So having recently installed a solar power generation system on the roof of my home , I started to think… what have I achieved in this endeavour?
The main thing to me, is that I have reduced oxygen consumption by installing this power-generating system that feeds back to the grid, by utilising light instead of the combustion process.
Therefore saving oxygen, a gas that oxygen-dependent life requires on Earth, which is running about 20.9 per cent by volume now.
With this environmental saving comes an added way of lesser benefit in creation of $$$$$, this being via a sympathetic taxation system allowing for example, deductibility of, for example, insurance on homes that are power generators, land rates, maintenance of power generation plant, etc., also depreciation of power-generating plant on roof.
Last census I have been able to source, it states somewhere near 11,000,000 domestic dwellings in Australia, say at $4,000 taxation benefit each that’s a number. So when young people build a house then instal solar, that’s an increase without businesses incurring a cost – out of this number government gets income tax and GST benefit returned.
I am not saying don’t pay bills, but be eligible to claim the economic growth based on sunlight.
