The United States House of Representatives has passed an Energy Bill requiring utility companies to produce 15 per cent of their electricity from renewable sources such as wind and solar power by 2020. The Bill passed in the House on a 241-172 vote, despite strong opposition from electric utility companies and the White House, which has threatened to veto the measure. Twenty six Republicans voted in favor and nine Democrats opposed the bill. A senior analyst for Lazard Capital Markets described the bill as "a significant positive step towards creating a cohesive energy policy." The renewable electricity standard applies only to investor-owned utilities and exempts rural electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the state of Hawaii from the mandate. The bill also calls for stronger energy efficiency standards for appliances and lighting and incentives for building more energy-efficient buildings. The bill bans the sale of 100-watt incandescent light bulbs by 2012 and requires that all bulbs be 300% more efficient than today’s ordinary bulbs by 2020. The bill also includes a range of loan guarantees, federal grants and tax breaks for alternative energy programs. Read more.... http://myhighqualityproducts.blogspot.com

Renewable energy can be perceived as an expensive option. However with advancing technologies and demand, prices are lowering rapidly and the long term savings are not to be ignored. Many local governments are also offering incentives for those who choose to go with solar or wind energy. This can alter the estimated cost and is a huge advantage.

Idiot ! It'll turn the meter backwards with both types… the utility company just can't count how much you are generating with the old meter. Also they can't add to your service charge because they won't even know it's there, unless you actually turn it backwards for the month's tally. Common sense and a little reading about the subject will overcome this naysayer.

This is a great push for solar panels and green energy and prices will continue to fall due to competition. For those who don't want to spend this much money, you an always build your own.

Nowhere have I seen mention of rebate an interconnection paperwork, let alone permitting, which is required for interconnection. The Utilities won't interconnect a solar installation, until they get a copy of a final approved building permit. Also, some homes already have a time of use 'digital' meter and any excess production being fed to the grid will count as additional consumption (e.g BIGGER BILL) without a new bidirectional digital meter installed by the utility. Orientation, shading, over-spanned rafters and a host of other issues also make a good DIY installation difficult to achieve.
