I'm on a transformational path to a more sustainable life. I dream of a life filled with clean and renewable energy. Please join me and my family as we struggle to better understand the what, whys, and hows that will reduce our carbon footprint while still enjoying the life that we Americans take for granted.

Regular readers of solarflareblog.com have probably noticed my absence. Yeah, I’ve been away for three months recharging my battery. No, not for my electric car, I’m talking about my own internal energy system. I’d been spread too thin, too busy dealing with a multitude of matters, and I needed time off from writing. I’ve been doing this blog for over three years and needed a bit of a recharge. Well, I’mmmmm backkkkkkk! Oh … I missed you, too!
