Now, I keep the blinds open when it is sunny and close them at night when I go to bed. It helps as my last gas bill was $130.00 up from $72.00.
Remember, I am gone for 1/2 day at work.

I know my brother just bought a house in California that has passive solar panels on it. He can somehow sell back the power that it generates to the power company. He also has some kind of geo-thermal water heater or something that has pipes that are underground in his backyard. The water is heated by the earth and then cycles back into the house. He's been there since July and said his electric and gas bills are less than his cable bill.
