I do differ with the figures quoted by the thread starter. In 2007 I had the same idea of using solar energy. However when I contacted different sources online and a government department in Pakistan I got different figures from every one. The Pakistani source quoted around 1 million rupees to convert one typical house on solar energy excluding heating. Even bigger problem is maintenance of the batteries.
So at present it is not feasible for a household to convert to this energy.
If some one has some links to suggest a low cost solution please share.
I don't know about Pakistan but 1000's of households in the US have already installed solar panels and systems successfully and some are already making more energy to sell it back to the grid (also known as net Metering).
There is enough information and pricing available all over the Internet, I am surprised no one has used their friend Google yet?
http://planetgreen.com is full of this information.

"SOLAR DREAM HOME"
"Living Roof and Waterfall A/C" there for sure.
DESERTEC, a European company has some great info too: www.desertec.org

Gas Pipe line from Iran
1. It will break monopoly of Sui Gas
2. Should come under water for security to Karachi
Are you serious? You rather have foreign oil/gas than your own. Whats wrong with Sui monopoly? It's a national asset, which is running out fast by the way. Sometimes we should think about what we are saying!?
I am not sure why it has to come under water? Its doesn't provide much security, someone can just torpedo it from a ship or submarine 100's of mile away without us knowing anyway. If you go that route might as well have it over land as it is better protected.
