THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL LAST WEEK APPROVED A RESOLUTION TO POWER MORE CITY BUILDINGS WITH SOLAR. THE MEASURE FROM COUNCILOR PAT DAVIS IS SUPPOSED TO COST 45 MILLION DOLLARS AND SAVE TAXPAYERS 7 MILLION DOLLARS. BUT DAVIS TELLS NEWSRADIO KKOB YOU WON’T SEE THAT MONEY IN YOUR POCKET. HE SAYS THE SAVINGS WILL BE PUT BACK INTO PAYING FOR SOLAR POWER, WHICH HE SAYS IS STILL A SAVINGS OVER WHAT WAS GOING TO PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NEW MEXICO.
DAVIS SAYS THEY’LL BEGIN DISCUSSING THE SOLAR TRANSITION EARLY NEXT YEAR WITH THE FIRST PANELS GOING UP BY NEXT SUMMER.
