      We’re not going to win hearts and minds unless we can show personally impactful results. Solar is an excellent way to do that.

      Me for example; At this point I’d have to pay more for solar on my home. That’s kinda hard to swallow unless you’re well off.

      I should note; Got a tiny house and it’s very efficient. I suspect most homeowners would be better off on solar.
