Haven’t seen it yet, but some colleagues at NRDC had a special screening and said it was great. Josh (the star/director) sounds like a force.

The “Other” Solar
Posted in Energy, Events, Green Building on Jan 25th, 2009
Solar thermal technology (pictured above) absorbs the sun’s energy to heat hot water and interior spaces for buildings. While this “other solar” may not be as well known as photovlatics - the fast growing technology that converts light into electricity - its ultimate potential to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels is no less promising.

Noting that this year is the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s journey up the river that would […]

A lawsuit claiming that the Indian […]
There’s really no reason I can think of why anybody in the city this weekend shouldn’t get themselves to the Solar Soiree on Sunday, in support of the great I Heart PV campaign. Details here or after the break.
There’s a ton of potential for small bizzes to save themselves boatloads of cash through some pretty simple and cheap actions around NYC.
