Today, most households are addicted to fossil fuel consumption. Many of our every day comforts are currently dependent on the consumption of fossil fuel. As energy prices rise, the costs involved in maintaining our lifestyle will increase dramatically, both financially and environmentally. The time will come when the price gets too high and we will be forced to change rather than taking control.

If you are a young person reading this your have a tremendous opportunity to educate yourself and begin to adjust in preparation for a very different world.
Don’t wait for the price to get too high and force you to change. Forced change is never pleasant.
Is it the money? Solar water heaters are the most cost effective renewable energy investments offering short payback periods and lower up-front installation costs. Current tax incentives make them even more financially accessible to most Maryland homeowners.
