The sun always rises
Renewable energy rocks and kicks Kahler’s ass [“Power to you people” in Mailbag, February 23]. While we cannot speak to whether or not Dominion Power is terrible we can speak to the fact that we have ceased to obtain power from our local power company. In fact, we do not have any power lines on our property and find this a benefit. We installed a solar electric system (by ourselves!) over 10 years ago and we live a conservative but comfortable lifestyle without the use of kerosene lamps or flashlights as Mr. Kahler would suggest. Obviously Mr. Kahler is one of the very few who chooses to stand up in public and express his incredible ignorance. While we never have had any intentions of “saving the planet,” we do find great reward in not having a power bill and providing for all of our electrical needs. We had uninterrupted power this winter and always have even when our neighbors have been without power.
