15、 the whole country as well. 73. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor. The type of home you have is another.

16、our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. And when Mother Nature says that s all.
