The solar energy equipments are very costly and no governments are giving adequate financial assistance to the people to fully tapped the same.  Is there any specific reason for this attitude from the government agencies of any country?

If you're talking about electricity generated from solar panels, it's not widely done because of how expensive it is to build and construct panels. The material (Germanium or Silicon) alone costs a lot to synthesize.\n\nWind power turns out to be a better alternative, if you consider the costs and benefits. Ocean-tide power may be good source of power too.\n\nNow look up "Dyson Sphere." This is another aspect of tapping solar power; Solar power tapped to the extreme, not for electricity, but for life; A solution for the evergrowing population of mankind. A Dyson Sphere is impossible to construct, but a few hundred years from now it may be possible to create a Dyson Belt, a collection of inhabitable planetoids built and placed in orbit 93 million miles from the sun (the same distance as the Earth).

This seems to be a problem with all peoples who live in a free society. We try to help the poor to the point that the ones who actually need the help are passed over and help is given those who are the chronic poor who have no intention of working for a living. Maybe someday our politicians will get their heads out of their rear ends and realize this. Since the politicians don't actually live in the real world, they cannot see the difference between these people and the real needs of those who need our help. We have those who would not work no matter what because they have been given all their life and now think the working people owe them something. Here in America we have exactly the same problems. We need government work farms where these people need to learn to work or starve...

The problem is that many African countries don't have functioning governmental institutions.  Sending money might help alleviate problems temporarily, but until they have more stable institutions and social welfare programs, governments can't be effective in helping their people.  Another problem is that many African countries have outrageous amounts of debt, so this plus unstable economies (that part is sort of a chicken and egg kind of thing) make it really difficult for these governments to become more stable and to provide and maintain public goods.

Mainly when the automotive ind. decides to earn less money and throw away part of the technology they've been using for about 90 years. But regarding alcohol it is already used in some countries like Brazil, but there is no big difference... we should go for hydrogen or solar... well actually water looks nice but I don't think it'll work.

The US states spends all that money on the space program, then when a disaster hits within the nation, there is "no money" to help the people.  Something is wrong with that picture.

Economically efficient basically explains itself.\nA country is this when they don't have to depend on other countries to support them 100%. They have back up plans for their economy and have a variety of ways to provide themselves with money. The political and social standpoint of it all is just saying that the government isn't sitting down in meetings everyday worrying about how they are going to give the wellfare population money when they don't have it in the first place. Hope you kinda see where I'm coming from and that this helps.

China is leading in Solar Energy

It's a non-renewable natural resource and it takes forever to be made (as in millions of years). So what we have now is pretty much all we have. If it were cheap then we would have probably run out of it already and then we'd all be screwed.

In my opinion, its because of there isn't much use of computer there. Most of them (native africans for example) are using traditional way of getting things done. Another case might be that there are not many ways to get a computer. Maybe because there are no electricity, no telephone cable connection, etc. \n\nHope this helps. This are merely opinions

It saves me money by not needing to buy batteries for my solar powered calculator.\n\nOther than that, it does not affect my life.\n\nHopefully in the future, solar power panels will be much more readily available and more cost effective so average people can use it more in every day life such as heating their home or powering appliances.

We can do a lot better than nature.\n\nOur best solar cells can exceed 20% efficiency while photosynthesis is only about 1% efficient.\n\nWhile we might be able to mimic it the low efficiency would make it seem like a waste of time.

Generally speaking, socialism doesn't fit very well with human nature.  There are too many freeloaders - people who will not do their fair share of the work and the other people end up taking care of them.\n\nOnce people get used to the idea that someone else is going to help them (even if they don't need the help), they begin to depend upon it.  And then they want more - more government services, more vacation, more money for less work, more, more, more.\n\nFinally, there isn't enough to go around and the government is forced to deliver the bad news to the people.  The news is that despite decades of promises the government is now going to have to cut back on what it provides.\n\nFor the people, this is shocking, just shocking.  They've spent decades listening to politicians tell them about all the goodies they will receive in the future and, against all reality, they accept the promises and go on as if the government can magically make the impossible happen.\n\nThus, we see the collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of draconian economic control of the economy by the government in China, the Indian government finally beginning to shake off decades of torpor in its economy, the Europeans continually trying to find ways to prevent the inevitable change that is certain to occur, etc.

Because the U.S. is looking out for their own self-interest.  Screw the planet!  I also suspect that a lot of the people running the country are scientifically illiterate and/or morally bankrupt.

it is a very important question and it return to future .we know  that in future all types of energy as oil will finish and nuclear energy will instead to other energy .and some country that are holder of this type of energy doesn't like other country can produce nuclear energy and will be dependent to them  .

I don't know, but if you find one, let me know so I can move there.  I wish to integrate all of these into my new home but the cost is unbelievable.  The wind turbines will cost 20k and the solar panels around 30k.  I haven't even begun to look into the waste system yet.  Electric companies only buy and sell electricity and service the delivery equipment.  Look at the logo on the sides of their trucks...they are all the same logo, just a different name.  What a wonderful world.  haha

global oil conglomerates aka the cookie monster, greed at it's most BASIC element.  The internal combustion engine has been obsolete since the 1950s.  Oil companies this year have set record profits, so much so  that the US government is  trying to figure out what to do about it.  Renewable energies equates to no profits these companies will sooner shove oil down our throats(WW III) rather than to allow renewable energies to become main stream.  Look for the US government to lead the world into a global government!!!!!

The big expense is the cost of setting up.  Solar power is not particularly efficient at the moment so you have a lot of infrastructure that you have to put in.  Australia has just started funding a solar project recently\n\nhttp://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20645117-28737,00.html\nhttp://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/international/news/20061025p2g00m0in017000c.html\n\nThese are a few articles on it.  The other costs are the drawbacks.  You have to store the power because power usually peaks at night time and solar power peaks during the day.  So you have the cost of energy storage on top of the plant costs.  To be totally honest with you I don't think anybody has a very accurate idea yet on how much it will cost to produce solar power.  It is an older technology but it has not until recently been investigated on the scale that people are looking producing today.  So there are costs of unforseen problems that will have to be factored in.  These costs should drop over time as solar power becomes more common but the initial outlay may be substantial.\n\nAnyway I wish I had more to say, Good luck with your research project.
