There are a lot of roofs facing the sun and I don’t see any solar panels. On the other hand I have several roofs with good sun exposure but if I installed solar panels (and paid for them) the local utility would only give me credit on my actual billing. Since I use very little electricity, it would not be economically sound for me to cover my roofs with solar panels. On the other hand if the utility would deduct say 30% for maintenance and distribution and give me the rest, I could actually make some money with panels. I think there should be a national law like that.

I don’t know the final answer on Global Warming. I do know we have been dependent on unfriendly countries for oil, and I don’t like the idea of using up all our own oil or coal to be free of those countries influence. It just does not make sense to me to waste a perfectly good resource like sun to make oil and coal companies and unfriendly foreign countries happy. I have grandchildren and they will have grandchildren, and I hope we still have resources in the ground by that time.
