Period. This is a country that receives solar potential equivalent to the state of Maine and has a population smaller than the 500 mile radius around New York City. How did the Germans become the world leader in solar energy (a title the United States once held, as recently as 1997)? Policy, policy, policy. They put their money where their mouth is. We know that solar will work in the northeast. And we know that people want it. The question is: will our goverment leaders deliver? </p>
