Fill every rooftop in all eight wards with solar panels that create clean, sustainable electricity
We can cut pollution, respiratory ailments, and pollution while also saving a bundle on electricity costs if we would only use the south-facing roofs and open spaces we have. There are 'power purchase agreements" that pay all the up-front costs, charge less than PEPCO rates for 5-7 years, then deed the panels and all future electricity (at least 20 years) to the property owner. The multiple benefits are almost too good to be true, but we can do it.
