Hawaii Requires Solar Water Heaters
All new single family homes in Hawaii will soon have to have solar water heaters to get a building permit. The law, signed by Republican Governor Linda Lingle, goes into effect in 2010. The website Metaefficient.com says the law is meant to address the fact that the island relies on foreign countries for 90 percent of its energy. The new law stems from a proposal made five years ago, when oil was $40/barrel. It has since more than tripled.
