The "reality" of global warming is that it is fake "crisis" pushed by control freak politicians. Note that Dominion is mandated by Dem passed legislative mandates to take these so-called "green" initiatives - this is not driven by science but by politicians.

Bruce, Overall kudos to you for this regular column and this one is also good stuff, but I'll add a couple points. First, replacement of appliances with those that are more efficient is not a good ecological/environmental move unless the appliance NEEDS to be replaced, because a) working appliance now goes to the landfill where it will remain for 10,000 years, and b) this ignores the real environmental cost to extract raw materials, convert those materials into finished product, and transport the new finished product to the end user.

Solar Renewable Energy Credits: I've "sold" 18 in the last two years. through 2022 they sold for $59.05. By mid 2023 the price had slipped to the low-mid $40s. In Feb 24, after waiting several months for any to sell, four of them netted only $114 ($28.50). While this is better than nothing, I'd disagree that you can "receive hundreds of dollars a year." I have a 6.12 kw system that faces almost due south and since Dec 21 have only produced 19 credits, so this is not a pot of gold, just a help in paying off the system installation cost.
