Ever wonder where our country's energy comes from and goes to? This fascinating map from the Lawrence Livermore Labratory shows in simple graphic terms where we generate energy and how much of it goes to various sectors. One of the fascinating aspects of this is everything you see in gray--"Rejected Energy." What this really means is waste. Particularly in electricity, as much as 2/3 of all the energy created is lost during transmission and via other means before it actually does any work. All the more reason to generate your electricity right at home on your roof.

    Hi Mike,

    I just wanted to say Thank You for taking my call this evening regarding my question about permits.  We met with our Realtor tonight to go over the inspection and I needed some clarification.  Unfortunately, it turned into a pretty heated discussion with our Realtor but we go a lot accomplished with regards to what we are asking seller to cure in order for us to proceed with the sale.  I appreciate you educating us yesterday so much that I just wanted to let you know that I will be speaking VERY HIGHLY of you to anyone that I can!  It's great to know that there is someone out there like you keeping these sellers and agents honest because the layman such as myself has no clue how complex it really is to build and maintain a home correctly.

    Thanks again and I will keep you posted how things turn out.  If we do end up purchasing this home, we will at some point probably hire your services for the energy efficiency improvement items we spoke about.
