> Solar hot water heaters -- a technology dating back to the 1800's -- use
> energy from the sun to heat water in rooftop collectors. Highly
> efficient, collectors can absorb up to 87 percent of the sun's energy and
> reduce -- or sometimes eliminate -- the need for electricity or natural
> gas.
>
> Solar thermal technology can create jobs and start saving consumers money
> from day one. Our new report, Recovering with Solar [1] offers a glimpse
> of how North Carolina communities plan to use economic recovery dollars to
> invest in solar hot water and other solar technologies.
>
> But we need more communities investing in solar -- and more of you to join
> the call -- to reach our vision of 100,000 homes, businesses, schools, and
> other public buildings with solar roofs in the next ten years.

> Then, ask your family and friends to do the same.

> We'll deliver a copy of the petition to your city leaders to encourage
> them to follow the lead of Durham and Mecklenburg, and the other cities
> featured in our report.
