Solar Ferris Wheel

If converting the Santa Monica Ferris wheel to solar energy (Oct. 23) is an attempt by Edison and the Department of Energy to educate people on solar energy, perhaps their real message is that it’s expensive. A project costing $350,000 having a savings of $7,000 per year takes 50 years to pay itself off. Maybe Edison isn’t promoting solar energy after all.
