Times are a chang'n...
A small but significant milestone happened a few days ago. One of the first solar energy electric systems was approved by the HDC. This full house system will replace the electric fossil fuel bill! I am so proud of the visionary decision of the current board of the Historic District Commission and sincerely hope renewable energy options become more and more accepted and promoted. For more information on the type of affordable solar energy system I will be installing check out EnergyIndependenceToday.com.
