		<description><![CDATA[Allen, thanks for your thoughtful comment. No doubt solar and renewables ought to be the centerpiece for economy recovery and no doubt without openness and critical thinking we could screw it up and make things worse.

		<description><![CDATA[As a contributing member of the California Solar Industry since 1979, I do not recall there ever being the collective mindset to support solar and renewable energy as there is presently. 

Over the years however, there has been various attempts at funding incentive programs, be it state and federal tax credits, rebates, or other forms of financial incentives.

Just like the fledgling 1980&#039;s solar industry participants learned about the nuances of solar energy incentives of the time, we will need to police our own industry, as 1,000&#039;s of initially well intentioned, but later on ne&#039;er-do-wells, enter the perceived &#039;lucrative&#039; &#039;Green&#039; market place. 

With a mindset of greed and deception, they commited financial and moral fraudulent acts, of which the solar industry received a black eye that lasted for 2 decades. 

I am not trying to rain on anyone&#039;s parade, but it is much better to address tough issues beforehand than to apologize for not acting sooner.

We, who have been in the solar industry since the 1970&#039;s, realize what the upcoming incentive programs mean to our world economy. Let&#039;s guard and protect our solar industry, and the new phases of financial incentives, like never before, and put Solar &amp; Renewable Energy into the #1 slot of progressive and sustainable businesses in the economy of The United State of America, and of the World economies.

Carpe Diem,
