A very interesting blog, and the figures are in.  This is a detailed account of this solar electric project in not so sunny New Jersey, it's a great success thanks to state subsidies for solar and sales of  Solar Renewable Energy Credits. 

Think of it..as energy prices rise the payback period falls and the dividends once it is payed off rise!  A great investment!!

Dkos green tag sales maybe more effective as a direct effort here, then invest those funds raised in a wind facilities built by Clipper Wind.  The dividends from that investment would go back into the account to buy even more wind capacity.

A contract could be negotiated with Clipper to sell a continuously growing portion of  wind farm capacity to match the green tag sales.  Clipper could agree to give Dkos a discount price based upon the advertising value of the project to Clipper.

A green tag account would acumulate the cash, then a contract would be negotiated that would keep the level of power production growing along with the green tag account.  So that as each green tag  has it's value fullfilled by clean generation of 1000 kilowatt hours of power by a Clipper Wind farm the person that bought the green tag would be notified.

One green tag offsets the carbon and other emmissions from 1000 kilowarr hours of electric power generation.  Ideally everyone would purchase enough green tags to offset the amount of electricity from fossil fuel and nuclear sources that they use.

"San Diego, California -- Kyocera today announced that it will hold a public dedication for its first-ever Solar Grove(TM); an array of 25 "solar trees"(TM) that converts a 186-vehicle parking lot into a 235-kilowatt solar electric generating system -- on Friday, June 24, 2005 at its North American headquarters and Kearny Mesa plant, located at 8611 Balboa Avenue in San Diego."

And there it is!  Parking lots that produce solar electric power and keep cars cool out of the hot sun, necessitating less air conditioning when traveling later on.
