Solar Energy Incentives Federal
Comments (0) Can national state and local governments use incentives for purchasing electrical micro-generation technology?
Such as anaerobic digestion bio-gas generators and solar hot water heating and photo-voltaic panels? Perhaps the federal government could pick up the tab for most of it, the state government one half as much, and the local half as much as the state leaving the business or individuals to pay for the rest? Would this help electrical generation copaciety keep up with demand if new coal and nuclear power plants had a permenent moritorium put on them and help halt new greenhouse gas emissions while increasing energy independence and greatly speed up the payoff for investment in this kind of technology? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_digestion

Typical lib! Where do you think the government gets the MONEY for picking up the tab? Why would you put a moratorium on building more nukes? We could cut greenhouese gases by 81%. To produce enough solar power you would have to cover Mass, TWICE, and that would only work during sunny days. What about those 2 week snow storms. Wind power? You would need to put up a windmill every 35′ of the US coastline just to meet current capacity and of course the wind would always have to blow.
Get the facts, get realistic. We can dratically cut emissions, we can do it and stregthen our economy. BTW, a solar unit will cost 3X what a comparable nuclear unit costs and only takes up about 1/100 of the space.
