Now this was recently explained to us by our neighbor who owned a large electrical company back North.

He says that many are made of aluminum and he hired an electrician to install copper roof conductors and connected them to lines running into the ground.

As much as we respect our new friend and his expert opinion, the POA Newsletter has a frequent column that I believe disputes the belief that lightning rods help the situation.

Someone jump in here. Maybe even the someone who writes that column. He has done so before and responded to questions like this here on this forum.

We are still undecided.
