“They all laughed when I said I was going to ‘Go Green’… But their laughter turned to amazement when I was running my house off my very own solar panels and saving a ton of money each month!”
If you have any interest at all in renewable energy... if you want to find out how much money you could possibly save by “going green”... or you just want to figure out whether renewable energy is even a REAL option for your needs... then this website was written just for you.
Here's the story...
They Laughed at Me
I have never been known as the “save the environment” type.
So when I starting talking about renewable energy sources, my friends thought it was kind of funny.
I mean, I don’t even recycle my plastics and glasses...
Heck, come to think of it...I'm probably the only person in my neighborhood who doesn’t recycle.
Anyway, you can see why my friends thought I was not the person who would start talking about renewable energy and “going green”. But to be honest, I heard you could save a LOT of money, which was my main reason for being interested (although I do feel good about helping the environment when I can).
Well, I decided. I would show them...
How I Became A Renewable Energy “Guru”
Okay, I'm not really a renewable energy “guru”. But my friends all think I am. Here's why...
I really decided I was going to figure this alternative energy thing out...so I started studying.
I talked to my friends first and (after they stopped laughing) they told me what they knew about it.
I got some magazines, some books, and started reading a lot of web sites about renewable energy. Here's what I found out...
It's Easier Than You Think!
Turns out “going green” (or at least starting to!) is not complicated once you know a few basics. For instance, changing over to solar power for electricity is WAY easier than what “traditional” electricians do.
Some of the reasons are:
• Renewable energy is becoming more popular…
• There are federal programs that exist to help you get started (more on that later)
• Most “starter kits” for solar energy are set up with “do-it-yourself” people in mind
• You can start small and slowly work your way towards going totally “green”.
And you don't need to know a lot of technical stuff.
That's the big secret.
In fact, what I discovered was that there are only a few key tricks and pieces of information that can help make the transition to renewable energy TEN TIMES easier once you know them.
Here's the problem...
There's No Simple Guide
I searched and searched for a good simple guide to renewable energy (and solar energy specifically).
You know, a book that was low on fluff and just tells me what I need to know about solar power and renewable energy sources.
I don't want to know all the technical details, or read a university-level course on electrical engineering, etc.
I just want to know...what are the basic tips that renewable energy experts know that will make my transition to this energy source a lot easier and keep me from making expensive mistakes?
Just teach me those tips, was what I was thinking.
I couldn't find such a book.
