Go Green at Home

Did you hear what happened in San Francisco recently? The city enacted a bill which would give HUGE and MASSIVE rebates to people installing renewable energy, specifically solar energy in their homes or businesses. The major of good ole San Fran signed this into legislation today!

If a home installs a photovoltaic (solar) system, they are eligible for between $3000-$5000 in tax rebates, and for a business the rebate goes up to $10,000. Wow! That is over $3 million worth of tax incentives for renewable energy!

While this is an overall effort that is being looked at across California, San Francisco lead the way with this.

In my humble opinion, there are many other cities ans states which have the potential to benefit even more than this.

Anyone know if good ole sunny Colorado is looking into this?

You know what is sad about this, I have family in the Orlando, Florida area and there are no vendors there selling these to people. My parents had thought this would be a great opportunity for them, but they cannot find anyone local to do it, and the cost they potentially could find was so prohibitive that it was not something that they could afford. So recently instead they did purchase a solar powered water heater that they are very happy with.
