My husband and I were both teachers when we bought our dream family home in 1988, where we raised our two children. Then, in 2016, we both retired and realized two things.

First, we had always been Earth-conscious and as an important part of that commitment, we wanted to install solar panels and save money on our utility bill during our retirement, but the installation costs and the financial benefits were neither affordable nor available.

Second, Donald Trump was elected president and funneled all tax priorities to the oil and gas giants through his Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, not us.
