I am sure you are aware of what Germany did more than ten years ago: they decided to create 100,000 residential rooftop solar energy sources and it was so successful both interms of curbing global warming and bringing down Germany's contribution to ppm CO2, but was also economically advantageous, so they enlarged the project every year ever since.  Why is America falling behind?  Virginia must do better than other states who are not doing enough.  Virginia is not doing all it can do, and we must.  We must do everything in our power to stem the tide of overheating our planet and all its contents.  Surely you will be proud of being on th right side of history on this critical issue.  Represent the future and vote for residential rooftop solar.  Vote against billionaires and for the people.  The billionaires are sociopathic and by very definition, are not leaders.  They have no empathy, neither for wild game going extinct and being tortured, nor for people like you and I. 

Legislate for whateve will create the most rooftop solar, Virginia rebates to homeowners, education of the public, creating jobs in efficiency, rooftop solar, farmfield solar, offshore wind and create prosterity instead of pollution and global warming.  There is no time like the present.  There will be no time like the present if you do not do the right thing right now.

Thank you.
