		<description><![CDATA[I looked into building solar panels with my husband. The main stumbling block to building solar panels is acquiring solar cells at a reasonable price!!! A little time spending ringing suppliers and internet research paid off though and slowly we can see the ROI.
So yeah, I&#039;d definitely recommend it!

		<description><![CDATA[Simple methods are always most effective.

1. Drawing curtains in the summer to reduce solar heating and therfore reduce Air conditioning power consumption.
2. Opening curtains in the winter to improve solar heating and therefore reduce the central heating energy consumption.
3. Decrease thermostat settings by 1 or 2 degrees

		<description><![CDATA[I think there needs to be a balance between energy consumption and energy production. Energy vampires are only half the problem. The other half is supplying the power we do need from a quality source. But it is always a good idea to make you home as effecient as possible to offset any unnecessary power consumption. Everyone should take a look at some great Home Energy Saving Tips.]]></description>
