Every month, Rebecca Michalski takes a deep breath before opening her electric bill. She lives on a fixed income, and heating her small house this winter has been staggering: Her February charge was $940.08 — more than her check.

appreciate what you're saying but afaik the federal tax rebate program for residential solar installation was terminated/not renewed last year.

maybe there are ways to get other credits... link if anyone knows of any?

making it worse, the only form of residential solar that's legally allowed (utility industy lobbying has made sure of it) requires complicated.connection agreements and expensive installs in tens of thousands.

this suggestion thou well intended, won't help poor people in the hills of West Virginia. not without massive legislative re-prioritization and investment. which our corporatist govt absolute will not allow
