The "agenda" is simple. Create awareness on the subject so Villager's can make an informed decision based on their tolerance for risk.
I know I've mentioned this before. I've spoken to several Villagers who's homes were severly damaged by lightning, who had no idea of this risk here in Central Florida. Most told me they would have appreciated this information. I also can tell you there are many here in the Villages that feel as you do, but in most cases, as soon as a neighbor's home is significantly damaged or destroyed, they run out and order a system.
As far as surge protection, so many Villagers installed the Eaton Ultra or PSP Vortex, when speaking to my electrician contact, they said they ran out of these devices for a while last year there was so much demand.
So, all this said, Villagers are getting awareness and making whatever decisions they feel are good for them and their family and that's a good thing.
