Default Re: solar panels on roof

I agree Sam. A focus group on this topic would be the way to go. As I see it, solar panels on your roof is a great way to harness energy. A friend of mine (in NJ) is doing it and once her panels are paid off, she's actually going to be "banking" electricity, making money. If you use less elec. in your house, your meter goes in reverse and the electric company will send you money. Well, it's more detailed than that but the way I understand it, you can't lose. If 50% of household's harnessed their own power, what a difference that would make. Going green seems to be the answer, IMHO. I think we all just need to do whatever part we can do, whether it be hybrid cars, electric cars, solar power, GOLF CARTS, etc. and eventually, it will make a difference. And lets all vote in some politicians who will really look at green solutions, not just give us lip service about it. My 2 cents. I'm waiting to hear from a few of the male posters here to see what their opinion is on solar panels. Is it something we can do in TV b/c I'm really interested.
