ACTION ALERT

GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER’S SOLAR PLAN Now that California’s budget has been resolved, Governor Schwarzenegger needs to make a major decision very soon whether or not to move forward with an ambitious plan that would promote solar energy on all rooftops in California and finally bring solar power into the mainstream. Click here for details on the draft initiative, as prepared by California EPA. Click here for more information about why this is a good idea. The existing solar programs that serve the residential market are forecast to run out of funds within 6 months, threatening the future growth of solar energy and the clean air and good jobs that come with it. The Governor can avoid this crisis by moving forward with a bold, comprehensive plan that will maintain California’s leadership role in the global solar market and make solar power affordable for all Californians. Please take a moment now to email Governor Schwarzenegger and tell him this is the moment for courageous, visionary action. Tell him that only he can make the sun rise from the west. Please send an email now. The letter below is editable, please make changes if you wish. Dear Governor Schwarzenegger: During your campaign, you made a bold commitment to help solve the state’s energy problems by ensuring that 50% of all new homes are built with solar energy systems. Now that California’s budget is finished, I urge you to take action and use one of California’s greatest resources – bountiful sunlight – to meet one of our biggest needs – energy. Each year, 150,000 new homes are built in California. These buildings, in addition to existing homes, will either be part of the problem, requiring costly, polluting new power plants, or part of the solution, generating their own electricity cleanly and cost-effectively. An ambitious policy to promote solar energy systems on all rooftops across the state can help reduce air pollution, create new jobs, increase energy independence and bring solar energy into the mainstream. Please act now and help make the sun rise from the west. Include your name, email and address below: Name Email Address
