When Hwy 130 gets covered, I wll be doing my part not travelign to Hilo often! ha ha ha !!
Seriously - as an alternative to solar panels for heating water - can any one tell me if it is viable to run water lines on your tin roof and have a collection tank that keep it warm? Seaside Bob tells me that then you have to recirculate etc... and it isnt cost or energy saving at all - but there must be some way to use all that heat coming off our roof for energy or heating besides solar panels that do use fuel to produce and ship.
