This is the way the oil-fed economy is kept going. Massive tax breaks and incentives for oil companies. Remember the story widely reported a few years ago that Exxon paid *zero* federal income taxes on billions worth of revenues? If the same thing were done for solar, we'd eliminate our dependence on foreign oil in I'm guessing 10-15 years- Solar is not efficient at this time. That is why nobody pushes it. You can fill your roof with solar panels and run a few lights and appliances at the same time but you can't run the higher electrical consuming appliances like air conditioning on solar. It just doesn't generate enough electricity with the technology available now. But if your electric bill only averages 30 dollars a month and you don't have AC you could probably meet most of your needs with a few solar panels. By the way I'm pretty sure there are tax incentives for those that want to install solar panels on their homes in order to reduce their electric bills.   __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
