…I highly recommend reading Hot, Flat and Crowded by Thomas Friedman.  You know may his other work, The World is Flat.

Here’s a description from Amazon:

“Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world’s middle class through globalization have produced a planet that is “hot, flat, and crowded.” Already the earth is being affected in ways that threaten to make it dangerously unstable. In just a few years, it will be too late to fix things–unless the United States steps up now and takes the lead in a worldwide effort to replace our wasteful, inefficient energy practices with a strategy for clean energy, energy efficiency, and conservation that Friedman calls Code Green.”

Let me know what you think!

Here I am with my dad, and grandpa, in 1978 celebrating the Grand Opening of our new store in Cape Coral – at the very location we’re at today!

Back in the day, it wasn’t about ‘going green’ and ‘renewable energy’ – the gas crisis of the 70’s made solar pool heating much more attractive.

I was fortunate enough to be invited by my dad to participate in this wonderful new technology!

Solar pool heating has always been the most economically viable form of solar energy.  It’s always made economic sense.

Today, 35 years later, we’ve expanded our products to include more than just solar pool heat – we also offer:

• Solar Electric Power (or as we call it, photovoltaic (PV) power)
• Solar Water Heater
• Solar Lights
• Solar Attic Fan
• Pool Automation

What’s interesting is how the use of solar energy plays a big role in our goals today relating to ‘going green’ and committing to a sustainable future.

Who knew this is where I’d be today!

I’m really excited that we’re taking our business to a new level using the power of the Internet to help people just like you create your energy independence.

I’m extremely proud to introduce our new online initiatives:

• This very blog, www.GoSolarEnergyforLife.com
• Our Web Site, www.FafcoSolar.com
• Our LinkedIn Business Page, www.linkedin.com/companies/fafco-solar

I want to thank Charly, and his team at Internet Services Group of Florida, LLC, for helping create & deploy our online connection to you!  (Be sure to read his blog post about the Top 5 Results from Going Green).

It’s really important to me that you let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, as well.

Thanks!

Dan
