Pass a bill that requires new housing to be built with solar hot water heaters and 30-50% of homes energy from solar.

Whether you believe in global warming or climate change, there is still the fact that humanity produces a large amount of waste and pollution. By incorporating solar hot water heaters and solar panels into a home at the point of construction, you not only reduce the carbon foot print of that home, but the family living there saves money by limiting the amount of energy used to power the home and keep the water hot. The price of this green tech is often more than a family can afford in these tough times to add after the homes already built. By adding them at the time of construction the costs are factored into the homes total price and are thus paid for with the mortgage payment instead of a pricey installation after. The mortgage is that much easier to pay for with the reduced energy bill.
