If you have children and grandchildren, you might think of converting to solar. It costs almost nothing as the bill on the solar loan is about the same as the bill to the electric company would be. And every month, the solar company sends a report showing how many tons of carbon my house has offset.
If humanity is to thrive, we will have to defeat global temperature rise, and we Floridians have a unique opportunity to make a significant impact with minimum sacrifice.
If someone from The Villages LLC reads this, I hope they will consider making solar an option for all new construction – residential and commercial.

I've seen several roofs with solar panels on them; one just lately about a block from here. We've chatted about going that route too.
I'm not the rah-rah type when it comes to lowering global temperatures, carbon footprints, saving the planet, etc. The planet got along fine before I arrived and I suspect that it will get along just fine after I leave. But the money-saving aspect does interest me. Not only that but I suspect it adds to the resale value of the house as well.
