I just saw this New York Times story (via Grist) about the Berkeley City Council approving loans to property owners who want to invest in solar panels.
In a move being watched by other cities around the country, the Council unanimously approved a program to give city-backed loans to property owners who install rooftop solar-power systems. The loans, which are likely to total up to $22,000 apiece, would be paid off over 20 years as part of the owners’ property-tax bills.
I’ll be watching. Hopefully Independence’s City Council takes notice, too!
