Solar Power and Reducing Energy Use are Viable
Today - Russell Lowes, Rincon Group Energy chair,
shows how solar panels recently have become more
affordable. He reveals how to calculate your cost for
solar, given the different aspects of installation, financing,
and incentives for those who want to buy or lease
solar rooftop systems for their homes. A blending of
solar panels and energy efficiency produces the best
results. Russell also will compare the current cost of
solar with the costs of new fossil-fuel or nuclear-energy
options. Government subsidies will be covered and
Russell will address current proposals for carbon-tax
options and renewable-energy stimulation in Congress.
The presentation will be held at 7 pm at the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) building at 1600 N. Tucson Blvd. (one block south of Elm Street) - free and open to the public.

The Arizona Corporation Commission, the primary entity responsible for regulating utilities in Arizona, will soon be hearing the rate case for Tucson Electric Power (TEP). Now is the time to weigh in for clean, renewable energy and energy efficiency in Tucson!
Besides enjoying delicious pizza, we will learn to write letters and advocate for clean energy and the reinstatement of energy efficiency programs in Tucson.
Because the Arizona Corporation Commission never approved TEP’s Energy Efficiency Implementation Plan, TEP cut important programs. Please help us get them reinstated and get back on track!
