Solar Hot Water

This morning’s L.A. Times has an article on the front page of the California section about the decline of the solar hot water heater. Only 1,000 were installed in the whole state last year. Watching acres and acres of new housing tracts sprawl in the hot sun with no solar anything anywhere, I think meager tax incentives (the point was that California no longer offers them, although the Feds do) are too little. It should be a felony to build a new home in SoCal without solar energy.
