With wildfires in California, elections nearing, high electric bills and the 26% Solar Tax Credit expiring, both Biden (2020) and Clinton (2015) have called for 500m solar panels. Yet few politicians’ homes have solar. Challenge our Politicians to take Personal and Professional action now.
10 years ago, when oil was spilling into the Gulf, President Obama was challenged to install solar at The White House. He did.
We need to replace polluting smoke stacks and tail pipes,
with zero-emission solar panels and vehicles.

Coal-fired electricity plant smoke stacks hide where people don’t often see them

“With extreme wildfires still burning in the state, Newsom says fighting climate change is an emergency.”
from the NPR article on 9/23/2020 titled California Governor Signs Order Banning Sales Of New Gasoline Cars By 2035.
Governor Newsom also signed a law to mandate new homes have solar starting in 2020 (LA Times), but existing homes are the main users of electricity, much from dirty coal powered plants. His own home doesn’t have solar on it either. That’s why we need to challenge our political leaders to do more now. See for yourself below.

Make sure you’re also leading by example by getting solar for your home now before the tax credit expires.
“The Energy Commission estimates that solar panels will save homeowners an average of $19,000 over 30 years” (LA Times) and add $15,000 to the value of a home (Berkeley Lab).
