the solar technology is here. households could have good efficient solar systems to provide a good portion of the electricity they need. There could also be policy that every new house has to have solar panels (less cost if they are built in in large numbers) However just like when the oil companies researched, patented and never sold oil additives that would have made petrol (gas) go further (not a conspiracy :) my Aunt was a research chemist for one company) purely to secure their market they are doing similar things with solar tech; lobbying and hiding it :) we worked on a small project at the end of my degree for an energy company I shall not name - they were actively patenting advances in solar tech "for a rainy day" :) Fair play - no one else bothered to beat them too it. But it does suck.
