I already have energy star appliances in my home, and use electric space heaters instead of my 80 percent effiency nat. gas furnace, because gas is so expensive . We have r-60 insulation in our attic, and use cold water to wash laundry. Our winters last from Oct. to mid May here in Mackenzie. It seems to me that people in the south don't understand that we in the north like to be clean and warm, just as they are. how do solar panels create good paying jobs for people who need to pay their mortgages and feed their families?

Not being involved on a day to day basis looking at and reading environmental subjects, I get swayed by what I hear from the people who will profit from doing things. Until now, I thought it would be good if we could burn waste wood to generate electricity. Now I'm not so sure. However, I would like to see us use up the logging waste which is now just piled up and burned on site...if we are going to burn it anyway. Thank you for the explanation.

Makes your recommendations more credible. Dave, I like that you have grounded all of this information in the reality of your solar-powered existence. Makes your recommendations more credible.
