Oh and one other thing, my uncles are MAKING MONEY off their solar power because the panels PROVIDE EXTRA ENERGY TO THE GRID!!! Hence they are not subsidized by the government but are providing a service to the power companies.
The price that they have paid for the panels, were below what they actually cost.
Moreover, to produce those panels, the energy expanded was more than those panels will produce over their lifetime.
The polution produced was much higher than if the energy were directly consumed by your "uncles".

When and if the balance will become positive, there will be no need to do convincing, the market will just switch to those energy sources.
