2:25Now PlayingIDAHO FALLS – For decades, people didn’t have a choice about where their power came from, but now things are changing.
Growing interest in renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, is allowing some locals to take power generation into their own hands.
Idaho Falls homeowner Kim Hanson is one of them. It’s been nearly a year since he decided to invest in solar panels.
Hanson was leery of opening the door when Blue Raven Solar came to his house last July.
“One of my Schnauzers took off and I told them I wasn’t interested,” Hanson told EastIdahoNews.com.
But after they helped him chase down his dog, Hanson decided to hear them out. He was intrigued when they told him solar power would not cost him any more than what he was paying his utility company. They also told Hanson they would install the solar panel system for free.
But it’s the concept of renewable energy that appealed to him most.
