Time to Install Solar Hot Water

In the late 1970's when the Solar Hot Water Panels went on the White House we were getting back to a technology abandoned only a few decades earlier. Only a few short years later we would abandon this renewable energy technology again. I'll avoid a discussion of the politics here but suffice to say that fossil and nuclear energy companies didn't (and don't) like competing with the most infinitely renewable energy source (which falls freely on our heads and roofs!). Will we as a culture work aggressively now to put solar hot water technology on all of our homes and workplaces? The economics are so beneficial and easy to comprehend. The carbon output reduction is so simple to calculate. The planetary need is so obvious. The need for jobs in manufacturing and installation is so necessary at this time. Why wouldn't we do this? To learn more I recommend starting with the information at this link:

Let me know if you decide to do it!
