Environment & Energy

It used to be that I used SO LITTLE electricity except for two months that solar was not cost-effective by a mile.

That may be changing. I'll re-run the numbers, but the smart thing for me is to move near the coast.

I lived in the SF Bay area for 30 years.

Of course, other costs rise, but I am 75, and renting may now be cost-effective compared to home ownership.

Depends on the numbers, but being able to take walks any day of the year beats having to avoid the outdoors almost all of the day has outstanding health benefits. I made a few visits to the bay this year and it was "COOL".

Good luck to everyone dealing with this inferno!!
