Solar energy is not quite as reliable as u would want. The wind mill for here in Texas does not work well as when it gets dark the wind quits. Keep the Gov. out of it.

Keep in mind I like solar energy, but I’ll give you some points.

1) It costs more
2) panels degrade faster than other energy sources equipment
3) They consume arable land
4) they consume natural habitat to set up
5) They can be unsightly (visual pollution)
6) Higher upkeep costs
7) Can be a hazard in high winds
8) transimssion issues getting energy from collection point to use point
9) energy only available in good weather
10) seasonality to its generation makes it an irregular energy source

There are good arguments in reply to all these points, but you wanted some negative debate points.

I was going to say that solar is only available half the time at best. But once you throw gov't into the mix, you have a GREAT argument. Gov't isn't designed to provide efficiency or innovation. It almost always forces the wrong solution onto a 'problem' which is only perceived, thereby creating REAL problems. And bureaucracies are incapable of taking advantage of the heart of capitalism, free enterprise. Putting gov't into the search for alternative energy is like trying to train an elephant for Cirque du Soleil. Oh. I was going to say that solar is only available half the time at best.

But the bad comes with all the good. Solar panels (they convert the sun's rays the electricity) do cost a lot and they don't work as well in over-cast weather and they don't work at all at night. but once you install the panels you basically don't have to pay bills because your off the electricity grid. hope i helped ♡♡♡♡♡ =) =) Converting to solar energy is a good way to help the earth stay clean and green.
