Zach Cuttler sent along this link to an article from the LA Business Council's recent report on the so-called Feed-in Tariff for the city and county of LA. LA is debating whether and how to design a program where residents and businesses can, on a large scale, install rooftop solar panels and sell the electricity. This report, produced with the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation, suggests that about 11,000 local jobs would be created by such a program, and there would be substantial long-term savings on electric bills.
