Solar heating arrives says ERDA future costs drop
Stop wasting sun by Paul Harvey argues ERDA data show solar heating is now economical with electric and gas heating, and a government push plus rising oil prices spur solar use.

The piece calls for energy independence and outlines government funding and tax relief ideas to promote solar adoption.
