A study from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy indicated that energy efficiency itself is the cheapest, cleanest “source” of energy.

Plus, we have installed solar collectors and a photovoltaic (PV) solar system in Key West. We heat our pool and get hot water from the passive system and power six electrical circuits with our south-facing, two kilowatt, nine-panel PV system, including DC/AC inverter and batteries.
