Today, the price of oil has skyrocketed to alarming rates. Scientists have confirmed the effects of global warming and its impact on the planet with its negative change to the earth's land masses and food and energy consumption in the years to come if changes are not made immediately in the way energy is used by the world's population.

Now is the time to invest in solar energy, an alternative energy solution, and help save the environment while saving you money, too!

Citizens of Florida have the unique ability to benefit from a source of energy that's not only free, but endless—solar energy.

Solar energy is pure energy. It does not produce the pollutants generated by electricity, for example. Electricity is produced by coal, a fossil fuel, which delivers millions of pounds of pollutants into the environment. Solar Energy is an alternative energy source that not only does not produce pollutants into the environment, it helps consumers save money.

There are State and Federal rebates and tax incentives available for the installation of solar water heating systems. Some cities in Florida have also begun offering their own incentives in addition to State and Federal initiatives to help citizens move to better alternative energy solutions.

With all that is happening on the state, local and national level with alternative energy solutions, there has just never been a better time to go solar than now. And, when you consider the positive environmental benefits of a solar water heater, the deal just gets better. A typical residential solar water heater will offset greenhouse gas emissions by about 1,500 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. That's the equivalent of 40% to100% of the carbon dioxide emissions of a modern passenger car.

Join me in doing our part to stop global warming and take advantage of the endless and FREE power of the sun. There's never been a better time to save money or help the environment than going solar today.
