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?
oh sorry, forgot about water power. what about water power? again, water power benifits, same as above.

Solar Panels are not as “Eco friendly” as you may think. Solar panels are a semi conductor type device as as such the manufacturing process generates lots of Hazardous Waste that need to be disposed of.

Solar panels produce DC power which has limited use in homes wired for use with AC power. Thus expensive inverters are required to change the DC into usable AC. It is possible to use some Solar generated DC in a home. One efficient way of DC usage would be to use a separate DC lighting circuit. This would eliminate the need for an expensive DC to AC inverter and operate more efficiently.

The down side of using DC is the necessity of rewiring a home or having DC operated equipment.

There is also the issue of where to install wind and or Solar Systems as not all homes are ideally located.

System installation is expensive and is another source of maintenance expenses a home owner must bare. Consider the damage that can be done by a hail storm to a Solar System.

Then there is the long time required to break even and recover the installation costs. Without significant subsidies one can easily spend 10′s of thousand of dollars which requires decades to break even. Traditional electric providers by comparison provide low cost maintenance free electricity.

EDIT:
Phillip is pointing out an obvious problem…..there are too many people on the planet. Billions of people demanding resources.
