face="Times New Roman">Thanks for including solar thermal hot water and PV
electrical panels in this discussion. I have been saying that "Trees are the
best solar collectors". <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I think it
comes down to political culture. Here in Toronto we have very strong tree
preservation by-laws even on private property. We must have this, trees are
sacrosanct. We have begun to value our tree canopy and the more advanced see the
urban forest as green infrastructure. I am a renewable energy professional and
we worried early on that bad examples from the US of cutting trees for solar
gain would infiltrate. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In the Solar

</SPAN>we tried to keep the panels in the sun, even though solar thermal can
take some shade (solar PV not so).<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Careful siting led to success. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Preservation of the urban forest is economic valuable in many ways. This
includes recovery of dead trees for everything from furniture to biomass energy
