I have been aware of the need to limit our use of fossil fuels for as long as I can remember. I helped plan and build our house 30 years ago to utilize passive solar heating, and later converted our heat pump to a geothermal water furnace. Now, with the help of a loan from Enerbank, I have a beautiful solar array installed by Solargaines, a company based in Baltimore. I know I am paying slightly more per month than I had been with the electricity generated by Dominion Power which uses dirty coal, but knowing I am doing my part to help save the planet is worth far more to me.
