From those days to the present I have been interested in renewable energy.

Put 13 kw of solar on my shop that also supplies the house.

The south wall of my shop has a 20'x8' home made hot water panel that heats the shop floor.

Installed mini split heat pumps for the house.

We would be so much further ahead if the country stayed on Carter's path.
