    Lots of resources were mentioned in this presentation- can you add links in the description?

    Glad to hear the conversation is about energy efficiency versus solar power. Solar does nothing to cool off the house in the Summer.

      We agree with Mike that the best approach is to ensure your home is properly sealed and insulated before tackling solar--which brings its own benefits for Georgia homeowners!

    Thanks for sharing your conversation. Electrification is not easy and I've been working on a series of videos to tackle each fossil fuel appliance to show how easy it is to convert. I'd love to share this with your audience when you are ready.
