Solar Hot Water Heaters Found on 90% of Israel's Rooftops

Israelsolarhotwaterheaters.jpg In the 1950s, Israel experienced a fuel shortage, and residents responded by installing solar hot water heaters on their rooftops. By 1983, 60% of homes had solar hot water heaters, and current law requires their installation. Jerusualem's skyline is beautifully cluttered with 90% of homes' rooftops adorned with solar hot water heaters. Perhaps Hawaii's new solar hot water heater law will one day bring the Aloha State up to par with Israel.

Lorenzo, there was no complaint about the skyline. Where do you read that? I wish every skyline looked like this! I called it "beautifully cluttered". No complaints here.

...You got to be kidding me...Israel saves energy and you come complaining about the skyline?

I don't mean to be rude but for that i would really punch you in the face, grow up and take responsibility *smack*
