That's not the best way to look at things. We have to go the hard yards because they (governments) don't want to. If we all start doing things and they refuse to budge they will be the ones who will have the pressure put onto them and be forced to act.
If the cost doesn't go down to what we're currently paying now it's either we stay cheap to destroy our planet or fork out a little bit extra to preserve the planet we have worked so hard to develop.
So realistically we don't really have a choice. Either do something and pay a little more or do nothing and pay a lot more. If the prices ever did come down I don't think that would be any time relatively soon, some sort of energy production breakthrough would be in order for that to happen, cos like it costs 10c per kilowatt hour on what we're using now but if we went nuclear it would be something like 25c per kilowatt hour.
