Legislation Calls For Levy on Natural Gas to Pay for Solar.
Environment California held a press conference in Sacramento yesterday calling for expanded use of solar power in home water heating.
The group touted new legislation, AB 1470 introduced by Assemblyman Jared Huffman, that seeks to "establish a 10-year, statewide incentive program to encourage the installation of 500,000 solar water heating systems to offset natural gas usage for water and space heating." The "incentives" would be funded by a new tax on natural gas usage.
