LETTER: Politicians avoid simple energy solutions

The need for non-fossil fuel energy is a must.

There are simple means out there that can be created and installed to provide that which is needed and usable.

First, electricity collectors on roofs are so simple the problem is not the system.

Secondly, hot water collectors have been used all over the world successfully for over 50 years.

The problem is the witless and worthless politicians that will not create bills to demand the installation of these simple systems on all new construction as part of issuing building permits.

The cost is minor part of the cost of construction and the cost is quickly recoverable.

So why aren’t politicians rising to the problem and solving it?
