California Law Adds To Energy Burden and Reflects Nation's Ignorance Of New Energy Technologies.

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 15, 2008 – NEWS RELEASE
Elk River, Minn.- The state and national energy debate in the United States reflects a gross ignorance of new energy technologies, which could save billions of barrels of imported oil annually. This nationwide ignorance is reflected in California laws mandating cool roofs that reflect solar energy. Ironically, proven technologies exist that can use the free solar roof energy for heating space, pools, and hot water. So, California now wants to waste this free solar energy by reflecting it back into the atmosphere??? The big question is this: "Don't we know how to use this free solar roof heat energy? The answer is yes!"

Ed Palmer, SolarAttic's president said: "SolarAttic has harnessed the Sun's solar energy which is collected in every structure in the United States. Even commercial roofs are active solar collectors that can provide free hot water and heat for industrial processes. California state officials reflect the national ignorance about existing technologies that can use this free energy. The result? California has passed laws to eliminate the roof heat and even require existing homeowners to get rid of the heat if they have to replace their roofs. How smart is that if we can use the heat to reduce imported oil? And what if the homeowner is already using the free heat energy from their roof to reduce their current energy costs? It is time that state and national energy officials get educated in conservation technologies before their collective ignorance results in even more imported oil."

SolarAttic's technology recovers solar heat from roofs and attics to heat swimming pools, homes, and hot water. By using the existing roof/attic heat energy, the U.S. can save an estimated 30% of its annual space heating costs, 35% of its air conditioning costs, 50% of its electric hot water heating costs and 95% of its pool heating costs.
