Do the smart thing

To the editor:

After reading the solar energy article on the front page, Feb. 29, I felt a need to respond to the “controversy” aspect of it.

We are being officered $1.5 million to build two arrays of solar cells which are projected to save between $900,000 and $1.2 million in the next 25 years. Did I mention this comes with zero financial obligation. By doing this we are being smart, progressive and make a small contribution to slowing climate change.
