So, i guess i have to expiate my Many Political sins and i spent time in the wilderness. But i am back and i can reflect on how politics work, how it worked then, whats happened in the meantime, challenges we now face. I promoted solar energy back in 1975 when i signed a law that granted a 55 tax credit to the installation of solar. That time was mostly solar hot water. But 55 was a credit, not a deduction.
