<p>I have been living these questions for the last couple months,
and am involved with the Zero Carbon folks who have produced an
incredible amount of information to address your questions.</p>
<p>1. Depends on your town, but the Ipswich Selectboard did not
place it on the warrant (yet) as they wanted some questions
answered regarding costs to builders/residents, who else has
adopted, and what are the conditions under which solar is
required? I have drafted these and we will likely move to the next
stage next week.<br>
</p>
<p>2. Nineteen communities have adopted, only 4 of which have
already gone into effect - Cambridge, Somerville, Watertown, and
Brookline. Twenty more are currently considering adoption. If
successful, these communities will equal about 24% of the MA
population (yes, Boston has adopted it)<br>
</p>
<p>3. Call me for more detail. 978-356-9881.</p>
<p>Best wishes on this....</p>
