I can't comment on the specifics of any particular national government environment plan, but in the business world, Google chose both. A few years ago they outfitted their entire corporate campus ("The Googleplex") with solar panels.

We believe that improving our environmental practices is not only our responsibility as a corporate citizen, but good business planning -- a new report from the North American Electric Reliability Council suggests that demand continues to outstrip power supply by a considerable margin. And of course by saving electricity (not to mention producing clean renewable energy), we also save money. In fact, we believe this project demonstrates that a large investment in renewable energy can be profitable.
