We Love Katy Texas Subdivisions...BUT We Need To Change Something...Allow Solar Energy!
We love the Katy Texas. We have warm temps year round (a little hot right now I must admit), a great job market, lots of restaurants, parks and recreation galore, some of the best schools you will find, and great area subdivisions that are full of amenities.
We do need to change ONE thing however. Most of the subdivisions within the Katy area do not allow solar panels on the roof of homes. It is against the deed restrictions in many of our neighborhoods. I do not know if the reason is because the units tend to be large and somewhat unattractive. I do not know if the reasons lie in the fact that largest employers have names like Shell, BP, Conocophillips, etc..., or maybe we just have not taken the time to think about the environment as much as we should...it is time!!!
Solar panels could not only help us cut our electric bills for things like running our appliances, A/C units, hot water, etc.. It could also help reduce our dependence on foreign oil from the Middle East. Solar panels can also reduce the burden of hot summer days that cause brown outs. These occur because we have a shortage of energy during peek times.
We live in Kids Town USA here in Katy. I think it is time to think about leaving our children with a better World and begin using the Sun...after all we have no shortage of it in Katy Texas!!!
