I got an email newsletter from my Senator today and one of his bills is this "S.3137 - Solar Uniting Neighborhoods Act of 2010" you can read it here: http://markudall.senate.gov/?p=blog&id=529ed
I just sent him an email discussing all the various alt energy options (that I know of)(wind, solar, kites, fuel cells) and ask him to amend the bill to include the boating community and to expand the scope to cover all these options.
Since this is a pending bill I would encourage everyone to contact your senators about amending it to include boating. Good for the environment, reduce oil dependence, create jobs.
