Greetings from the Frontier.
At the request of your distinguished moderator I have been asked to share my thoughts on the subject of the Environment and points of discussion within this forum from the perspective of the SW or what we like to call the Frontier.
As time allows, I will gladly offer up my two cents worth on these matters and hope you all find some merit in our observations.
First Observation from the Frontier:
Know where to ask the right question or at least close to the right question.
Now, being one who does not really understand all the bells and whistles of the renewable energy game but enjoys the concept and its advantages I looked for and found some folks who do. This was over 25 years ago and they still provide the answers to my engineers on the various projects we have undertaken.
So my first contribution to this forum and to your " Green Team " is my research source and good friends at Real Goods / GAIAM .
www.realgoods.com is where you want to check in with these leaders in the industry of Renewable Energy Technologies. Suggest you all pop in and visit the site.
Second Observation: If you can somehow get your hands on a copy of their "Solar Living Source Book - The Complete Guide to Renewable Energy Technologies & Sustainable Living " GET ONE !!! My copy is the Eleventh Edition, and there might be a newer one.
My edition is 590 pages of information, tech data and equipment that even the novice can understand and those in the know consider a BIBLE.
In closing, we are actively working on various projects and ideas here on the Frontier that might be of interest to this forum and will, as I mentioned earlier as time allows, drop in and offer our thoughts and updates.
