I knew a man who used to take his saw into the Maine woods to cut down the dead and dying trees and haul them home to be his wood pile. He minimized the damage to nature, helped the woods thrive and stayed fit. More than 20 years ago, he was one of the first to build a home “off the grid” that was electrified by solar panels. Solar is dependable and the least expensive energy on the planet. Opposition to it has all but disappeared. Kudos to the pioneers of sustainable living, who have given us the confidence to make solar energy doable and climate solutions attainable. ~ Jan Kubiac, Hyannis, Mass.
