The title says it all. When the President of the United States, a former oilman and current snake oil salesman, says we need to focus on the solution, you know it’s on for real. On top of that, 928 scientists believe climate change is caused by human activity.

So, we’ve begun exploring going solar with Solar Service here in Chicago. So far, it does not seem to be very cost effective, so we may call out a salesperson to double check that. Our problem is that we have a boiler, not a furnace, so we only cut down our hot water heater gas usage. We wash most of our clothes with cold water and turn the water heater down, regardless.

There are new federal and Illinois state tax credits that could drop the cost, but we may look at replacing windows around our house or finding other ways in which we can reduce our energy usage before taking that next step, unfortunately. It may be time to call in the Energy Detectives. So, I stand with Hugo Chavez when he says 1 car per person for this planet is lunacy.
