<p><b><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt;">EDITORIAL </span></font></b>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.<o:p></o:p></p>

stands at a grand total of 618 installations by the end of 2007. In

megawatts is currently supplied by solar.<o:p></o:p></p>
