i have a white roof on my 2flat, and a silver roof on my home, which i didnt need the zoning committee to tell me about. also a big solar array on both. didnt get much incentive for that, either, cuz my taxes arent that high. did get some. but it’s paying for itself.
such simple shit. hopefully homeowners will do it anyway. roofing companies wd b smart to market this. cuz ‘free enterprise’ is all we have left.

but shame on cafo owners anyway. (almost called them farmers, but…)
the whole town of amana, iowa is powered by 1 dairy farm. iirc, it cost about $20m, but most of that was to build a sewer system to send the manure to the digester w/o shoveling. what’s the roi on that?
y r they just throwing money away? do we rly need the feds to strong arm ppl into doing smart things?

i was disappointed the the new green deal was dumped. there is sooooo much low hanging fruit in ag. i believe there was money for manure digesters, but i cd b wrong.
