Reply #60: Wouldn't it be nice if the government would SUBSIDIZE those? [View All]

Not just tax breaks. Tax breaks only benefit people who have enough money laying around to buy the stuff to begin with and can then wait around for a tax break at the end of the year. So that means tax breaks benefit rich people who can afford to use them and wait for them.

To really help get solar power out there, and reduce our dependency on foreign oil, and on expensive power that is generated from foreign oil, our government could be directly Subsidizing solar kits so that tens of thousands of homes all across America could be generating solar power this year.

Tens of thousands of more homes could be using solar power every single year if government would subsidize solar power directly.

Take that $1.3 Billion oil subsidy that the oil industry doesn't need and that money, all by itself, could make the U.S. a Solar nation within a year!

This is something our government could be doing right now, very easily, that would have a HUGE POSITIVE IMPACT!

It would produce JOBS!

It would help the Environment!

It would help the Economy!

I think it's time to write your next letter to your senators, congressional reps, and the white house to suggest this. :)
