I agree with you, Dr. Stein. But progress is slow. In my neighborhood, I’ve yet to see a residential or business unit with solar panels.

I’m surprised, Rose, at your observation – I assumed your westside area would be in the forefront. I’ve seen several residences and businesses in my area using solar panels. And the VA in West Los Angeles and CBS on Beverly in L.A. have massive panels over their parking lots. A start, at least.
