Madam, - On a day when your front page featured a fireman up to his knees in flood water, it seemed a tad optimistic for Kenneth Jones (December 4th) to be calling on the Government to encourage the use of solar panels. Perhaps it is an idea that Mr Martin Cullen of electronic voting fame might like to pursue. - Yours, etc,
FERGUS McCARTHY, South Yarra, Melbourne, Australia.
