Indiana Legislator Introduces Feed-in Tariff Bill
First Comprehensive Proposal of 2010 in US, Adapts Rates from Ontario for a “Made In Indiana” Policy
by Paul Gipe
Indiana, United States [RenewableEnergyWorld.com]
Representative Matt Pierce (D-61st, Bloomington) introduced AB 1190 into the Indiana General Assembly January 7, 2010. The bill is the first comprehensive proposal for a system of feed-in tariffs in the current legislative sessions that have begun in states across the US.

AB 1190 tries to go Ontario one better as competition for renewable energy heats up in North America’s heartland….

[Note: For copyright reasons, we cannot print the entire comment/article. Please see above article on RenewableEnergyWorld.com. The gists is that Indiana is intro-ing a Feed-in-Tariff. It remains to be seen whether it will be passed, given that Indiana is a friendly coal state, but one can hope. ]

Thanks for the heads up, Greg. You rock.

Like Ohio is the Buckeye state, Indiana is the Backward State. Indiana will, as usual, be the last state to adopt solar/alternative energy policy. Only after the majority of other states have done so, will Indiana start to move in that direction.

I Decided to go Green in Greene co. IN. In the Town of Bloomfield
I Am INstalling almost a kilowatt of solar panels on my shop 20′x 24′ where I do repairs On ATV ,Scooters, Motorcycles ,golf carts, lawn mowers, small engines.
I will operate my lights, Battery chargers, power tools Off the suns power and makes a small dent in my part less carbon footprint . I am tickled Green about And have always wanted to do this since i was a Kid .
It Makes a Difference and i will advertise this to the local news and newspapers and hopefuly “GREEN” will get contagiuos!!

Lets turn this around on you IronRanger?

Where are you going to get you power from when we run out of coal, oil, gas, places to burry nuclear waste.

I think your mistake in assuming that solar power advocates are claiming that solar power is the ONLY solution. We are only advocating solar as PART of the solution.

You Solar fantasy people just crack me up. You never let physics or reality creep into your minds when your thinking…..Thinking is the wrong word…dreaming is more like it….tell me where are you going to get you electricity from when the sun isn’t shining? Remember we are currently in a HUGE economic mess….taxing people at this time is REDICULOUS!!! Look forward to reading some intelligent responses.

Hopefully Nanosolar will start selling to consumers by the end of 2009. Supposedly they are able to make thinfilm solar for 30 cents per kilowatt and will sell it for $1 per killowatt. If this pans out it could be a game changer for solar power. I’m pretty sure installed solar now costs $8-$10 per kw. The efficiency of the thin film is around 10% but at $1 per kw who cares as you could cover your entire roof with thin film for not very much $. http://www.nanosolar.com There are also some cool youtube videos of the thin film production process.

I’m new to the dialogue on solar in Indiana. I live in Indy and would be interested in what grass roots organizations already exist that educate or lobby for green energy. Anybody out there that can help
