Unfortunately, some of our energy solutions may not be as pleasing to the eye as one might prefer, BUT, we've got to get with the program. Every little bit helps.

Hey, how about all those UGLYYYYYYY solar water heaters on the roofs. It's just a sign of the times!

Speaking of conservation, how about all the water we waste as a community to keep a stupid lawn green? Being from the Northeast we hardly ever watered. Forget the cost for a moment, given the serious water problems here, it drives me nuts to see the huge amounts of water, potable or otherwise being wasted every hour of the day and night. In New England the lawn was green in Spring and Fall, if it was hot and dry in the Summer, so was the lawn.
I agree. We need to adopt a new mentality when it comes to environmental issues. If you've never seen Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth", I highly recommend it. Its very watchable (our grandkid's were mesmerized) and is really a wakeup call regarding our natural resources and global warming.
