I will shortly be departing on the next phase of my whirlwind national tour. I'll be speaking at the Harlem Green Economic Forum on Saturday, June 22. I may still be able to obtain seats for this event if you are interested in attending. Making community solar available for all income levels is a big challenge for citizens groups and solar companies alike. The Solar Gardens Institute is taking on this challenge, with social inclusion one of the main goals in our mission statement:
"To provide a way for everyone to own solar panels, making clean energy affordable and available for all humanity."
At SGI, we take this seriously. Once solar has paid for itself, everyone can own their own solar panels, and pass them on to their children. From the inner city to rural America, from off-grid India to the penthouses of New York, everyone should have a solar panel the same way they have a belly button!
For those in New York City who'd like a one-to-one meeting, the best times will be Friday June 14, Friday the 21st, the weekend of the 22d-23d, or Monday the 24th. Email me to set a time for coffee, drinks, or a snack and to talk about community solar.
I'll also be speaking at the premiere performances of Gasland 2, the sequel to the runaway hit expose of fracking by Josh Fox. The flames burn higher and the corruption runs deeper as the fossil fuel empire strikes back. I'll be showcasing the idea of small scale distributed renewables as a viable and positive alternative to the horror show of fracking, tar sands, and coal exports.
