Did You Hear? There Are NO Solar Companies on Long Island

A Thanksgiving treat from Fox News (Faux News):

You’ve likely heard about the survey that finds Fox News viewers are less likely to know what’s going on in the world than people who watch NO news at all.

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said about Solyndra’s bankruptcy: "It just stinks on every level. This makes Watergate look like child’s play …"

And Bill O’Reilly bemoans the fact that although he’d like to put solar on his Long Island home, there are no solar companies there!

Solar companies wrote him to clear up this bit of misinformation:

Dear Mr. O’Reilly,

We hear you are ready to go solar pending your ability to locate a solar provider. We represent some of the hundreds of solar companies currently operating in New York State. We would be happy to help you get started with your investment in solar so you can join the many New Yorkers who are already saving money on their monthly utility bills by generating their own power.
