/Solar power now: A basic blueprint/

*EDITORIAL *Solar energy makes so much sense in San Francisco that it's 
crazy this city didn't figure out years ago how to get at least a 
quarter or more of its power from the sun. And it's crazy that now, with 
the financial benefits of solar power improving, the technology 
improving, and the environmental mandate getting more profound by the 
day, the city still doesn't have an effective citywide solar program.

/Why is it so hard to get solar power in //San Francisco//?/

By Amanda Witherell and Sarah Phelan

It's now 2008, and the number of solar roofs in San Francisco stands at 
a grand total of 618 installations by the end of 2007. In terms of 
kilowatts per capita, the city ranks last in the Bay Area. The city's 
total electricity demand runs about 950 megawatts; only 5 megawatts is 
currently supplied by solar.
