Solar Energy Breaking Through Washington Storm
Washington defies storm clouds as solar energy expands. The Energy Information Administration notes a 28 percent rise in solar collector area in the first half of 1980, while Solar Lobby cites over 300000 active solar units and a possible 25 percent of U.S. energy from the sun by 2000 before budget cuts threaten funding. Active solar systems can provide 50 to 75 percent of home heating, with costs of 2000 to 3000 dollars for a solar hot water setup and a 40 percent federal tax credit on the first 10000 spent. passive systems lack tax credits. A well designed solar hot water system can save up to 250 dollars yearly in fuel bills, and consumer guides are available from the Solar Lobby and HUD.
