San Bernardino sees green through Solar and Wind permits.

Environmentally friendly developers and homeowners in San Bernardino County could start seeing green -- and saving money -- thanks to initiatives announced Monday by county supervisors.

Under a four-part plan unveiled by board Chairman Paul Biane that is expected to be approved by the Board of Supervisors today, the county will waive building permit fees for homeowners installing solar and wind-generated energy systems and expedite applications from developers whose projects meet certain green-building criteria.

"Time is money," Biane said. "We're encouraging residents and businesses to make changes that will help us cut our greenhouse gas emissions."

Homeowners currently pay $200 for a solar permit and $250 for a wind-energy permit, county planning officials said.

Since San Berdoo is leading the state in windpower education, by investing in windpower development at the College in Victorville, they have drawn the support of REPower Education OutREach REO, to become the state leader in windpower education.; 8/28/2007 5:25 PM
