Gov. Schwarzenegger Applauds County of San Bernardino for Becoming a ‘Green’ Leader, Removing Barriers to Installing Solar
“I would like to congratulate the County of San Bernardino for announcing its ‘Green County San Bernardino’ program. The county’s local leaders are demonstrating environmental leadership through greening local government buildings and increasing renewables such as solar and wind. This initiative specifically cuts the red tape from installing solar or wind power on rooftops for the people of San Bernardino by waiving county building permit fees. Other counties and cities across California should step up to this challenge - finding creative ways of allowing residents to take control of their energy future and doing their part to combat global warming. My Million Solar Roofs Initiative has the goal of installing one million solar panels on rooftops across the state. The County of San Bernardino has responded to this initiative with great leadership.”
