Solar power would save Durham dollars

Kate Seckinger in The Daily Mail reports that Durham officials were excited that they could save taxpayers money by putting up solar panels, when they heard that Coxsackie saves 20 percent on electric bills. Then they realized Durham is much smaller then Coxsackie, so that 20 percent only meant $1,500, and the story is unclear what happens next. “It will be modest in terms of savings, but even an amount as meager as $80 is nothing to sneeze at,” Town Supervisor William Carr said. “Given the amount of electricity we use, there probably wouldn’t be many solar panels involved to begin with, but there are a lot of other things we could spend our money on that we might want to make a priority instead of this project.” Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
