Sunshine is free. Don’t let Dominion try to block the sun | Guest column – Richmond Times-Dispatch

$500 million redevelopment in Henrico; Who to watch in 804 B-Ball; DreamHaus cabaret opens
With the cost of most everything going up, we’re all having to get smarter about how we spend money. One of the ways Virginians are doing so is by investing in solar energy. Installing solar power provides peace of mind and a way to protect your household from rising energy costs. Sunshine is free and endlessly abundant, unlike other sources of fuel that are used to generate electricity. Fuel cost volatility, coupled with dramatically increasing electricity demand in the commonwealth, is creating a perfect storm for electricity prices. Low-income households are hit the hardest by this perfect storm.

Volunteers help with a “solar barnraising” at a Habitat for Humanity home in Harrisonburg. Inspired by traditional barn raisings to make solar affordable and educational and to build community, groups like GiveSolar organize solar installations like these in various communities.
