I want to sincerely thank you for your coverage on the American Solar Energy Society's National Solar Tour ("Local Home Featured in 'Solar Tour,'" CV Sun, Oct. 1).
It was a great success, we had more attendees than we expected, well over 100 at our house alone. Your timely newspaper coverage and well written article brought interested people to all our home sites-three out of over 2,000 nationwide.
Public education is the biggest need there is in solar because the technology, hardware, distributors, and contractors are matured, reliable, and cost-effective. As nations begin to inevitably circle the wagons on oil resources, foreign wars and internal struggles will become more severe in all our lives the planet over. Something as simple as the sun shining on us now offers incredible freedom from this strife. It's one major piece to the puzzle.
