Your Call 033108 Solar Rising

Why is solar rising over the Bay Area? On the next Your Call, we're rebroadcasting a conversation we recently had with a panel of stakeholders in the solar boom. Cities are making it easier to install panels on residences and offices, local companies are spearheading research into new technologies, and local contractors and non-profits are making it practical. What policies are happening in your neighborhood to make solar's present as bright as its future? It's Your Call with Sandip Roy.
