Solar Power

Why should we be thinking about using Solar Power?

First, how much does it now cost for gasoline,

natural gas, propane gas or electricity?

What are nuclear power and coal power doing to our planet?

 We already now know about the risks and how dangerous they are,

or can be, but are they any cheaper than gas or electric?

Most importantly, what do we do with all of the hundreds of thousands of spent

 fuel rods and what will it cost to make this phantom so called clean coal?

How long can we keep growing corn, wheat and rice to be used for fuel,

and how does this affect the price of the food that we eat?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Americans are finally just beginning to think about turning

 in their dinosaurs for more fuel efficient vehicles.

We are still thinking small, but we are thinking!

O.K., I got that off my chest, now let’s get started.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am retired now, but I have noticed that things have changed

 and science has made great improvements with solar panels,

 solar water tanks and equipment to hook them up since

 I first started installing them back in the early 70's.

Now one person can install this equipment just about anywhere,

and the costs have come way down.

 You can also take power from this equipment

 to run its circulator pump!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There will be no need for power companies or worries about power outages

or where you want to use this equipment.

Thanks to the newer sensors, if you live where it goes below freezing,

 the pump will automatically shut off and use water instead of anti-freeze.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can go one step further, by adding a Low loss energy

 reservoir to insure that you will have enough hot water

 until the sun heats the panels up again.

Then you could add more panels, some Radiant floor heating

or baseboards and the sun can also heat your house.

If you have a forced warm air system and want to keep it,

you can just install a coil into your system and you are all set!
