Dear editor,

Sometimes you work so hard and so long on something you wonder if it is really going to happen or if you are just wasting your time.

This is a real dream come true.

I built my first solar energy system in 1967. Nobody even knew what that was back then. Of course I was called all sorts of names for my crazy ideas. I have a tough skin.

Tesla, the company with the most practical electric, but up till now, most expensive automobile (an economy model has just been introduced) is offering you a solar energy electric system for your home starting at $3,000.

With your state and federal tax credits, this price makes the systems all but free in a lot of cases.

If you live in Covington, where I’ve seen $800 utility bills we could quickly and easily be the most solar community in the world.

An almost free energy system that will also power your electric or hybrid car putting as much as $8,000 back in your pocket every year!

My Scottish ancestors used to tell me, “son if you don’t spend it, you don’t have to earn it!”

Tesla is a company started by billionaire Elon Musk to develop and manufacture electric automobiles and to advance the technology of battery power storage units for home and autos.
