Thinking of going solar? The pros and cons…

I’ve got to give a shout out to my good friend Martin Lamonica, an Arlington resident and star reporter covering the intersection of the environment and technology for CNET (now part of CBS). Martin’s an authority on things green and he and his lovely wife (and fellow journo) Elizabeth have done a substantial amount of work to reduce their carbon footprint — rainwater capture for the garden, beefed up insulation and solar, among other things.

Recently, CNET sent a film crew out to get his take on the big question of the day: should I install solar panels on my roof? Martin gives an excellent run down of the pros and cons in this short Web video. Check it out.
