PROGRAM: Jeannine Holt introduced Ladel Laub, CEO of Dixie Escalante Electric and Phil Solomon representing the City of St. George. The two businessmen are now partners in the exciting and unique photovoltaic solar farm, designed to give local residents the opportunity to purchase solar power to supplement the energy supplied by more conventional means. The innovative solution to high energy costs and oil dependency is called SunSmart, and taps the natural, safe and clean renewable resource available 310 days a year. Like wind and hydropower, solar power produces no emissions and no byproducts. The City of St. George has also worked with the Utah State Legislature to make it possible for homeowners to take advantage of state tax credits for renewable energy investment from an off-site system. For more information, call 627-4841 or go online to http://www.sgsunsmart.com/ to download the purchasing contract.
