I am blowing into the wind not far from you in Rancho Cucamonga just north on the 15, which should be a great area for wind power. Most people I meet range from not interested, not informed, don't care, to downright hostile when I bring up the subject of green homes -- for both investors and homeowners. I am happy that you didn't give up. Thank you for this great post. I am blowing into the wind not far from you in Rancho Cucamonga just north on the 15, which should be a great area for wind power.

Hopefully, more investors here on BP and elsewhere will get educated about the benefits on going green. I've been working with a couple of investors lately who were carrying negatives on their rentals. After doing a energy audit and a few retro-fit upgrades by a licensed Green Contractor (paid in part with available Tax Credits, and Rebates), are now back in the black with positive cash flow.
