I am a huge fan of solar power - the sun makes more sense. In fact, I would like to have a solar powered cabin deep in the woods in the not to distant future. With that said, Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle signed a bill on Friday that makes Hawaii the first state in the US to mandate the installation of solar water heaters in new residential construction.
The legislation, Act 204, mandates that new single-family homes built after January 1, 2010 will have to install solar waters to receive a building permit.
Who is next? I guess Washington or Oregon -but- what if someone bold from the East Coast stepped up - Florida?
