Well said Kim. I find the conservative lobby to just be so tiring these days? It's always on the offensive, always trying to garner support by going after people--attacking the ideas of others instead of promoting their own.

Solar Roads get small DoE contract, confidence to change the world

Promoting research is always valuable, but we have many technologies now that can make a large difference that are actually financially viable.
T. Caine Sep 14, 2009, 12:59 pm
It depends on where the building is and where the panel is placed. One solar panel (5'x2.5') in full sun can power nearly 20 CFL light bulbs (185 watts total). A small difference. A roof of panels becomes more considerable.

About Me

I am an architect in New York City continually exploring how sustainability can be woven into our lives. My love for writing spawned Intercon, and I write not only about the acts and occurrences of sustainability, but also their inevitable interconnected nature to our daily lives. There are no isolated actions, no random repercussions. The better we realize how each of our decisions can affect others, the sooner we will start making meaningful changes.
