Cnet reports that San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom recently toured the ‘Sunset Idea House’, talked with some “green” bloggers, and announced a “strike force” of business and government leaders to discuss ways of encouraging more homeowners to install wind turbines.

Here’s hoping they have more success than with the currently stalled Solar Incentive Program, which of course I hope to tap. Its said to be a ‘tax break for the rich’ which in a way it is, but the $4k rebate represents a tiny fraction of the property tax I’ll be paying (tax basis for house quadrupled with change of ownership), so come on SF, get with the program!
