Instead, the group says the U.S. could cut its energy consumption by 40 per cent by adopting conservation and low technology solar power...
Many people still assume that solar energy is something for the future, awaiting technological breakthrough. That assumption represents a great misunderstanding, for active and passive solar heating is a here-and-now alternative to imported...
Again, the main obstacle to the wide adoption of solar has been the lack of adequate economic incentives. Solar projects do not pay for themselves quickly enough to be worthwhile. The Project believes government incentives--such as the 55 to 60 per cent take credit that California currently grants homeowners who install solar heating--would overcome this hurdle and permit solar to take a prominent place in the fight against imported...

Without such a program, the Department of Energy estimates oil imports could increase by as much as half. Clearly, the Energy Project's recommendations deserve a fair chance in the current energy debate and in Washington. As this book shows, not all good ideas come from California. Some come from just across the Charles...
