How much will our electric bills go up when we start using the "green" technology like solar panels?

A documentary the other night showed an office building that was supplied by solar panels and how great it was. Then they brought up the fact that the cost was astronomical and it was 90% build with government concessions.

American has always set the standards and that is why much of our industry is in countries like China where they have no limits on pollution.

Will this break the country or us? Shouldn’t we drill and phase this in as we go? there was an article posted earlier which mentioned what happened during the depression that jobs were created at a 25% increase in wages, but costs stagnated the economy.
Pretty interesting answers. I don’t think we will be as bad as China, but this needs to be phased in at the least. As some have said, predicted on the startup cost.
