“I’d like to talk a bit about solar power, especially in our country. Is that okay with you?

Here’s the point. I’m not thinking about investing in it right now, but since we have so much sun here, I’d expect solar power to be quite popular. However, it actually isn’t. I’m not really sure what’s holding it back in our area, but I think it’s mainly bureaucracy, corruption, or maybe just government inefficiency.

Actually, I know only one person who has solar panels installed on the roof of his house. He’s happy because in the summer he doesn’t need to buy electricity, and he can even sell some back to the power company. But you have to get permission, and it wasn’t easy for him to install the system at home.”

“I’d like to talk a bit about solar power — particularly how it’s used in our country, if that’s okay with you.

Here’s the thing: I’m not planning to invest in it myself right now, but given how much sunshine we get here, I’d expect solar energy to be pretty common. Surprisingly, it’s not.

I’m not entirely sure what’s holding it back, but I suspect it has to do with bureaucracy, corruption, or maybe just the government’s general inefficiency.

Honestly, I only know one person who’s installed solar panels on his roof. He’s really happy with them — in the summer, he doesn’t have to pay for electricity, and he can even sell some back to the power company. Still, he had to get special permission, and the whole process wasn’t easy.”
