Conversation 57 (Listen and Read)

Hi Jessica!

I think we have to figure out ways to cut down on our electricity consumption.

The electric bills have been soaring out of control.

We could try shutting down a few machines,

but that would decrease our production.

Oh! I heard that the government gave incentives like tax rebates to companies using alternative energy.

We should probably look into that.

Do you mean installing solar panels?

I wonder what the financial implications might be for us down the road.

Well, installing solar panels would definitely cost us a lot initially,

but we would save a lot of money in the long run.

However, the company is not in a good financial situation this year,

so it's really a toss-up.

Well, I'll contact a few authorized dealers to get some quotes.

That'll help us figure out if it's feasible.
