Here's your chance not just to be the mayor, but the original city planner as well! Imagine a medium sized city that would be developed with modern, low carbon transportation in mind, and other strategies to reduce the average citizens' carbon footprints.
What would that city look like? Would that make you more likely to want to live there?

Solar Power
Solar Power is one of the other sources used in order to power cities and buildings. But, the issue is, is that people rather use nonrenewable resources to power their homes and offices than solar energy. Why is that? Well the thing is, solar panels are very expensive, and as people say, money runs the world. It is more cheaper to use electricity with a nonrenewable resource, than with solar energy. I feel as though the economical stand of solar panels is what causes people to not change from a nonrenewable resource to solar panels. If we can just make them a reasonable price for people, maybe people will switch. But for now, natural gas and oil are cheaper, and this is what people will prefer over the alternate resource.
