It seems that it's becoming fashionable to be involved or associated with reducing one's carbon foot-prints: from shops offering a variety of re-usable bags to governments prepared to give 'green grants' out. And with unstable oil prices going down, is it time to consider investing in alternative energy sources? As a long term investment? What are your views?

Not convinced yet, as costs seem to be too high at the moment.

but if you can secure government grant, then your own costs should not be as high.

Dont think its worth it as an investment at this stage unless you are 'green at heart', wish to make an impact and have funds to do so.

Still, quite an interesting view. Perhaps, its not at the stage where individuals could consider investing in, but on a business level, it might be worth checking out what government offers in terms of grants.
