why should more people use solar power and wind power?

why should more people use solar power and wind power? and what are the benefits of both of them? does it save you money, how much and how much will it help the earth if one person decided to use them? what about a hundred people? what would happen if everyone and every building, cars, trains, airplanes, EVERYTHING in the whole world started using solar/wind power?

How many solar panels or wattage does it take to run the lights in the home?

I want to save money by using solar power, where I can.I already turn off lights when I am not in a room. I live in a 16 X 80 2000 trailer. But I only use the kitchen and my room most of the time. I have already bought a oil filled heater just for my room for the winter, instead of turning on the furnace. Can anyone help go green and save money.

How do you convert a gasoline vehicle to a solar power ?

I would like to save money on gas. How would you use solar power to supplement a gas engine?

Why do energy companies promote energy conservation and efficiency?

My gas company gave me a free energy audit of my home, and offers generous rebates to install insulation and other energy saving products. I don’t understand why they do this. If I use less gas, they make less money. Why are they doing these things?
By the way, I won’t believe any answers that say "it’s the right thing to do", or "they want to be green". I don’t buy that. Profit drives almost all business decisions, and this doesn’t seem profitable to me.
