The vast hall of the Orange County Convention Center which hosted the inaugural Green Earth Expo facilitated a heavy focus on solar power. It was a good thing, too! When Jim Griffin and I conceived the Green Earth Expo, we spoke at length about how silly it is that the Sunshine State does not lead the world in the adoption of solar.
At that moment (and during the countless planning meetings in which I participated with Jim and his staff), I failed to anticipate just how zealous the crowd at the Expo would be about the current status of solar power for residential use when the Expo finally occurred. The intensity was something to behold.
Jim and I were delighted that multiple solar contractors and installers from Florida participated as exhibitors, panelists and speakers at the Green Earth Expo. They did a very good job because the current state of solar power for residential use by far gathered the most interest at the event.
Wondering as to the extent? Well, allow me to give you a firsthand example.
I have been waiting patiently for the last year for a new, national solar rental
program to come online. Its formal unveiling draws closer with each passing day.
When I speak in public, I carry copies of the flyer for the program with me. It
has a simple but very effective message: Rethink Solar. You can read
about the program at
Next time, I will share with you an important update on another solar technology which was featured at the Expo and has grown in scale and scope since I first told you about it in November.
Sustainable Justice For All!
