In terms of energy saving, it will be a much better investment
especially hot water. Of course some claim that the energy used in
construction and installation is never recovered. Much the same
claims are made about wind farms, but these claims are false too.

The same is also true of carbon dioxide savings.

The same stuff seems to get rehashed every time this comes up. I cba to
rewrite it.

The same false claims do indeed tend to come up with some
regularity, whether about wind farms or solar hot water heating.

I never cease to be amazed by human behavior. I know I'm repeating
myself here but I remember 40 odd years ago, a prospective nuclear
industry worker being interviewed on the radio. He was asked
"Aren't you concerned that your children's health might be seriously
damaged by nuclear contamination and their children for generations to
come"
The answer was "It's a job."

Yep. When it comes to the weekly pay packet, people will lie, betray their
principles and tell themselves lies. Look at the local villages who make
their living serving the local squire. They defend the squire and all the
system that surrounds him to the hilt. The fact is they would be better off
with out him. But they can't see further than the next pay packet.
