1. Hi Jessica!
2. I think we have to figure out ways to cut down on our electricity consumption.
3. The electric bills have been soaring out of control.
4. We could try shutting down a few machines,
5. but that would decrease our production.
6. Oh! I heard that the government gave incentives like tax rebates to companies using alternative energy.
7. We should probably look into that.
8. Do you mean installing solar panels?
9. I wonder what the financial implications might be for us down the road.
10. Well, installing solar panels would definitely cost us a lot initially,
11. but we would save a lot of money in the long run.
12. However, the company is not in a good financial situation this year,
13. so it's really a toss-up.
14. Well, I'll contact a few authorized dealers to get some quotes.
15. That'll help us figure out if it's feasible.
