I've been involved in recycling and stuff for decades too. I know some locations have extreme weather, but enforcing better building design reduces the need for cooling and solar should be a natural if you get that much sun. I hear about some authorities actively discouraging people from having their own solar and that's just wrong.

I don't know all the details but yes it's complicated and expensive for homeowners to go solar and impossible for renters. My Local University, Long Beach State has put up some large panels over much of the parking lot areas and it's really great. It's what needs to get done... but only for people who are thinking about the big picture and actually living in the future. I live in a really "strange" area. There's oil wells all around me on land, oil drilling platforms in the ocean and one of the worlds busiest ports all within a few square miles. The amount money flowing around in relation to this is mind boggling. There are no projects to utilize wind or solar here at all. Fact is most people probably don't want it or understand how it would be good for them and their kids. I apologize for this... it's pretty upsetting and i just barely touched the tip of a massive iceberg of shit and left out what might possibly happen that will make things much worse than they are presently
