Incentives for using solar
Incentives for using solar
Recently, on a talk show where the subject was the benefit of the domestic use of solar energy, a caller suggested that if government wants people to use solar, it should provide incentives. At first I thought that the caller might not have been aware that there is a number of existing incentives offered, including reduced duty on the equipment. Then I realized that one feature of our consumer beh...
Three tips for reducing your power bill
Three tips for reducing your power bill
Let's be upfront. Everybody wants to have lower power bills. But how to make that happen without a lot of upfront cash or a radical change in lifestyle is a mystery for most homeowners.

December artwork of the month
'Clay Oven' seems to be a quiet watercolor, content to sit amongst the bright splashes of color from John Beadle, Jackson Burnside or Brent Malone.

Indigeneity and Art
Waves wash over us,
Sun's rays bleach us,
