That is precisely why I don't drink tap water. Bottled water, from the highest mountains in the French Alps for me…

They also reckon that, due to the high volume of depressed people being prescribed Prozac, there is more than a trace element of that particular happy pill sneaking into our water supply. Does that mean we will all be happy for absolutely no reason in a couple of years?

Hang on, maybe it's the government…maybe they are spiking us with happy juice so we are more compliant when they bend us over and rip down our trousers…

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to weigh-in on the discussion. I am an HB resident too. I love historic buildings. Dwyer is no exception, it's fantastic.

I have recently completed a Solar Panel installation class at OCC. It was unbelieveably informative. From what I have learned from the class about the importance of placement of solar arrays, there is a problem with each of the alternate locations in the above pictures. Most of the above alternatives have shading problems in either the morning or evening. In the iceplant-combo picture, you can already see the shade entering the area. The roofs are out because the panels are less efficient so close the the roof – roofs get extremely hot on warm days and heat makes the panels less effective. They would have to be placed high off the roof to allow enough airflow to cool the panels. That might be less desireable visually.

The selected spot is the ideal location to maximize “Peak Sun Hours”. This means the energy collected which means the most value will be gained each day from the initial investment and for a long time to come.

I also often wish that the symbols of our heritage could last forever. But that is unrealistic. Perhaps a graceful marriage and acceptance of the old and the new together is not as bad as it now seems. When my sons attended Dwyer I wished they had more shade to offer during recesses. Fair skin damages quickly.

Also, SCE is planning a 10% price increase by January 2012 (never mind that part of that increase is to replenish the SCE retirement coffers that have dwindled in that last couple of years – maybe we should be rallying around the fact that we will be paying higher electricty costs to compensate for the market losses of SCE retirement investments). No one is replacing my 401k losses.

Once the panels are in, there will be no more electricity price increases for 25+ years for Dwyer. I like the community involvement but there are bigger issues than aesthetics and a longing for the past.
