This is very important, it means everything, without water you can’t live; and this pipeline is going through 43 percent of North America’s clean water.” — Gina Peltier (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa)

Video of The Month
Discover modern solar thermal systems designed for Colorado weather and homes. Solar thermal combination systems can slash your heating and hot water bills. Find out more about this often overlooked yet mature and effective technology, understand how it can interface with your existing water heater, forced air furnace, boiler, baseboard heater or radiant floors, pool or hot tub. Understand the basics of panel sizing, solar tank sizing, gravity-fed drain-back systems (versus antifreeze systems), and how these systems can retrofit into existing Colorado buildings. A couple exciting facts: Solar thermal collectors capture 4 times more energy per square foot than their more popular PV brothers, and solar thermal pumps consume almost no electricity compared to heat pumps.
