Hey you make a good point. But really I am just a treehugger at heart, its the reason I am in the solar biz. In my last post (which never showed up?) I mentioned that I have a roof full of solar already. It's a personal choice, I guess I can't bring myself to consume fossil fuel for such a luxury.

I already feel bad about running my AC but of course I have convinced myself that it is a necessity ;-) Running a heat pump pool heater to put 500,000 BTUs per day in a pool, at a COP of 5, eats up 29 kWh per day. That's not a lot of money, but it equals burning 1/2 ton of coal every month.
