Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

I am an electronic engineering professor at a community college. One of the courses I teach is "Renewable Green Energy Technologies". I am FSEC trained and have installed Solar Hot Water, PV, and swimming pool heating systems.

What excites you about this campaign?

It is both grass-roots and needed. It seems that corporate America is dragging their feet, so it is time for people to act.

What do you want to do to help?

I want to train people so they can reduce their energy consumption and produce their own.

We have a PV system on our house and it is great. But like you say, the best return on your money is increasing the efficiency of your home.

-- thanks, jeff

Still, with the new revelations of 80-90% efficient solar panels and materials, the design could be used just to run the lights via a flash capacitor system, that stores energy during the day and uses it at night to provide low light illumination to the areas that might be unsafe otherwise, at night.
