\"?????????????????????????????\"<\/a>Net Zero.\u00a0 I am no expert – not even close – I seriously know little about it.\u00a0 I do know that we are producing more energy than “they” predicted.\u00a0 That is amazing.\u00a0 We live in the PAC and it rains here all the time – uh, not so much.<\/p>\n
