Learning from the pros: installing solar power and a heat pump in our home; guests Kevin Bowes of PowerTec Solar, Richard Lazlo of CutYourHomeCarbon.Com & my son Ben. Weighing pragmatic worries with energizing vision. A how-to for home & business owners, with a what-more-to-do for us all. And a bit of the tell-it-like-it-is blues.
