Wow - I almost feel special
I’m on Tom Udall’s mailing list (yeah, don’t talk about the site’s design). Every few weeks we get an update from him on what he is and has been up to. One of the recent newsletters talked about renewable engery sources and how he’s a strong proponent of a federal shift to increase the establishment of those sources.
I took the time to respond to his newsletter (via the site above) and told him about my frustration about the (almost) non-exisiting federal incentives to encrouage people to start making changes in their own home.
To my surprise I received a fairly detailed and personal response today. Wow - I really did not expect that. No wonder who actually wrote it, but the fact that he (or somebody else) took the time to read my comment and respond almost gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling.
Thanks Mr. Udall!
Yeah, what is the deal with New Mexico? Do you all have really cheap electricity bills, or something? Seems like an ideal place for solar energy, but on our visit to Albuquerque and Santa Fe I don’t think we saw even one photovoltaic array on a single roof.
Don’t get me started, Mitch
I wish I would have taken a photo of the Bavarian country-side on my last trip. Most of the barns there are *plastered* with photovoltaic systems. Every one of them actually *makes* money, because the farmers produce way more energy than they can use. The excess energy is fed back into the grid and for every kilowatt they send back, they see some dineros. Wish this was the case here …
