and I’m not talking about the kind you get from a steaming cup of java bean extraction. I’m talking about renewable energy. I don’t talk about my “civilian” life too much, but 30 hours a week, I work as a solar design engineer. I design solar electric systems for commercial and residential systems alike. Our company has been upgrading the website, and there’s some cool stuff on there so I figure I will share it.

Be conscious of your usage so more of my precious pine trees don’t die because the winters are not cold enough here in CO. I like the Rocky Mountains rocky, but I like my trees too. 🙂 “I thought the rocky mountains would be rockier than this! That John Denver is full of shit!” It’s as easy as buying compact fluorescents (CFLs) and you’ll have more money for lattes. 🙂 From a blog I used to update.
Tomorrow- off to Sol Vista to race the State Championships! Wish me happy legs. 🙂
Good luck…kick ass and take names! BTW thanks for the tips last week…the wife and I have our trip planned for the end of August. Two fun 5-6 hour rides planned
So as a member of the solar industry, what do you think about MIT’s latest discovery?:

I am currently involved in hydrogen fuel cell research and can’t wait until there is an efficient method for clean hydrogen generation – solar being the most promising in my opinion..
