Why is there not more passive solar homes ?
Question:
Answer:
I think that the Greek government wouldn't have to fully subsidise the costs of converting houses to be more energy-efficent, but as long as they show people graphically what really could/is happening due to global warming (such as possible local flooding, and not something very distant like ice-caps melting).
Many people see people concerned with the environment as 'anti-industry', 'leftist' or 'paranoid', which isn't really the case. If people were educated more about the issue, this might not happen.

So the Greeks invented solar heat?
Kinda like I invented the rock?
the average home needs more electric than most realise. It would cost tens of thousands of dollars to purchase all equipment to fully run an average home.
So my short answer would be: not cost effective for most people.
