Solar Energy Panels

The town of Babylon, Long Island is financing homeowners for more efficient boilers, water heaters, and other utilities.  Isn’t it time to harness solar energy?   Many countries already have it.  We have the huge bills fromthe gas companies.  They say you save 30% off your bill if you use gas heat.  We haven’t seen it.  Are solar energy panels for homes the next step for a Greener America?  Shouldn’t the government help finance such progressive projects?
