Going Solar

Thanks for your coverage of the Million Solar Roofs bill. Having been the leading environmental policy group working in Sacramento to pass this bill for three years now, I really appreciate the spotlight Grist has put on the threatening politics of the day.

In addition to partisan bickering, the silent but deadly opposition comes from the state's largest electric utilities who are threatened by Californians becoming more energy independent of them by going solar. They are working quietly but powerfully behind the scenes right now, trying to weaken or kill SB 1, the Million Solar Roofs bill.

The good news is politicians on both sides of the aisle can become heros if every Grist reader gets involved in our campaign by contacting their state assemblymember right away. We only have eleven weeks to pass this bill so time is of the essence. Anyone interested in taking action can visit our website at www.environmentcalifornia.org.

Thanks again for your excellent in depth coverage.
