Whether you are here
because you are interested in ending your dependence on oil or because
you are an environmentalist who believes that efficiency is the key to a cleaner
world, the choices that we make do make a difference in attaining both
ends.
Recently my husband
and I decided to reduce our dependence on oil by eliminating our hot
water oil furnace. It was only 4 years old, but the cost of fuel coupled
with the pollution factor helped us make the decision to put our money where
our values are. What is the best heat source alternative for us in
Albany, NY?
This site describes some of
our choices as well as some items on our wish list. We're both enginerds (me-chemical, him-civil) which often means we tend towards long decision making
processes due to detailed research we feel we must do. We want to share our
research and decisions in the best way that we know how so others may learn
from both our good and poor decisions. We hope that this site is useful
in helping you to make your own GeoChoices!
