With all the billions we are spending in Iraq every month
How many solar panels could we have installed instead?

How much would that have done to reduce our dependence on foreign oil?

It use to be a chicken in every pot. Why not a solar panel on every house?

2. when the big energy companies figure out how to make $$$ on solar
It will come to pass.

:eyes:


we put 18 solar panels on our home last winter, our meter rolls backwards all day long on sunny summer days. We don't generate enough power to be selfsufficient, but I think the power we generate this way helps out in the long run.

3. Great Oil Party (GOP) doesn't believe in alternate energy
another reason to vote DEM in November!!!
The GOP puts our country at risk everyday ,needlessly I might add, in support of its corporate donors.
Time for a change.

5. Another reason to make sure Al Gore
is the next president or at the least the head of the Dept of Energy.

9. We're trying to raise money to build a new public library
in our small town. It is so hard to raise 2 million dollars for a project like this. What a disgrace.
