If anyone else wants to do something about this, I've included the email and mail addresses of these representatives: |
Will do!! I will ask not for tax credits (I am too poor for that to help since I don't have the up front money to start with), but a social loan program. If we get solar panels that are wired to a grid (state wide program), then the excess energy can go back to the central unit and each person can pay off the panels since that is free energy that the state can sell to (pick your party) [Rep] either some private energy company who can mark it up and sell it to businesses [Dem] or directly to businesses.
I will also say that we should try anything that can be a safe form of energy. So long as it wont kill us (or my son), we should use it...
