The Board of Supervisors are pretty close to making a city-wide solar incentives program a reality. They kind of approved it yesterday, which is great, but they still need to *really* approve it next week. Mission Mission pal (and solar energy booster) Sonia says:
this is really exciting, and actually somewhat unexpected. if you get a chance to call your sup (ammiano for us mission folk) in the next couple of days, that would be awesome!
If you’re into the city giving you $6000 to install some panels, contact Tom, thank him for the kind of, and ask nicely for the real thing.

I heard about this at the NEN Clean and Green Summit. Some adorable old woman started abusing a PG&E man (about something else) and claiming that she would never vote for this until they put in a clause to give people who have previously installed panels money too. Fesity! She has a point, those who were willing to go solar 5 or 10 years ago should be rewarded for taking the initiative, not ignored. Also, I wonder if it applies to all types of panels or just ones that go into the power grid…Still – I’m going to go ahead and give Tom a comment!
