In my opinion, solar heating of pools here in Florida is probably the most cost effective energy saving tool available today. If you can’t make that work, then why bother with anything else.


How about also adding a function to fuel electric golf carts at the same time.
A resident buys in and swipes a card while he goes bathing...

To me the basic problem will be is:

Where in the world am I going to get the cash to put up in advance as a senior citizen to pay for solar energy. I need cash flow in and not out in year one!

Therefore, financing must be included to make it where most TV residents would accept.
