Solar Power and Your Construction Contracting Business Depends on Change
Solar Power is the most advanced of the alternative energy sources available and
there are four things in life that are constant:
Death
Taxes
Change
Sunshine
As a people we can't do too much about number 1. Death is something that happens to
all of us and to any business who doesn't take number 3 into account. Number 2 is something that the world is about
to experience 'big time' if all the politicians can come up with as a solution for climate change from the
Copenhagen conference in December 2009, is yet another tax on their populations.
If this happens, all humanity will have a tax burden of some description imposed on
them from their respective Governments in one form or another. They can tax us as much as they decide but it still
won't make 1 degree of heat less; or make the rains come to parched paddocks and fill water systems, or stop the
rain from washing away adobe houses.
We need an alternative and viable energy source and solar is the most advanced so far.
Money unwisely gained through excessive taxes and spent with the lions share going to
vested interest businesses, isn't going to solve the world's climate change, or give the world a new energy
source.
To achieve these goals we do need a certain amount of Research and Development
funding actually going to those who are doing the R&D work and not into big company shareholders profits.
We need the R&D Funding going to small and medium sized solar construction contractors who can get the
job done.
Over the years there have been numerous good energy ideas that have died in the
start-up phase because the businesses have invested all their existing capital into the research and haven't been
able to achieve an income from the development to get a Return on Investment (R.O.I). They have not been able to
access financial assistance from other sources, either government or private and so have had to fold.
Our Tradespeople are the ones who are going to be implementing many
of these changes to the way we build our houses and dwellings in which to live, work and play. And our construction
contractors need to be prepared for these changes. It will be the ones who are best prepared who will be the big
businesses in the coming decade.
The businesses who don't adopt change will be the ones who are out of business, hot,
broke and left in the dust. So, if you and your business isn't ready to adopt and adapt, then it's not too late yet
to change if you start now.
We both know that men in suits aren't usually good builders, plumbers, tilers,
painters, handymen,architects, engineers (apart from engineering their own financial gain to date) and the people
who will be building these new environmental reforms that are going to impact on everyone will be our
tradespeople.
Construction IS YOUR Business.
So if you are going to have a construction contracting business into the future your
business now depends on change. Solar energy
is in it's infancy so what better time than now to grow together?
