AB811 yes, City of Palm Desert, Berkeley the originators, have certainly been educating publicly and have installed programs, other cities less so. Get involved or on their lists if you're in the area.
But what about AB117? Does anyone know if this is actually law in the state of CA? The statute permits a local government board, or combination of governments to create an entity called a "Community Choice Aggregator" (CCA), which may procure electricity on behalf of local citizens, businesses, and itself. AB 117 provides local governments greater discretion over the type and source of electric generation their communities use.

Because as you point out, since putting your money in the bank for such low returns, you'd get much better with producing your own power Does anyone know of any PV funding that would work for the small guys in the new Stimulus bill? jay peltz power _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
