On a bright note, solar power in the desert is fantastic, my Mother has solar and she loves it, she has a great giant air conditioner and a nice swimming pool, and her electric bill dropped dramatically. My Mother is living a good life, with good neighbors, and she is happy, and she loves solar power.
Going green is good for the climate, and it is good for our wallets. And with that extra money my Mother can go to nice restaurants and stuff. She loves California, and for her this place is a resort.
Salute,
Tony V.
