Why: We are calling on leaders to adopt this vision and to take concrete steps to achieve this important goal for Colorado’s future. Here are the top three reasons: • Solar should play a central role in meeting Colorado’s energy and environmental goals. Solar is accessible to all: Many people are installing systems with no money down and seeing savings immediately. Many options are available for those who want to own their own solar energy. • Solar gives you energy independence and protects against rising fuel prices. Home values go up and you don’t have to worry about rate increases. Hundreds of Colorado solar companies provide thousands of jobs. • Solar helps protect the environment because it avoids air pollution from fossil fuels and relies on the clean, abundant energy of sunshine. It is a major way we can avert catastrophic climate change. For More Information Contact: High Noon Solar 569 S. Westgate Dr. #4 Grand Junction, CO 81505 www.highnoonsolar.com 970-241-0209
