Advancing Renewables Conference, March 28

A friend of ours in the area's sustainability society, David Mars (more on him, and them, soon?), tells us this conference in Columbia is a don't-miss event for the renewable-energy savvy (or for those of us who'd like to be...). Something like 200 people made it to last year's all-day event, and it looks like they've got another impressive line-up of speakers for this one (the keynote speaker this year is Julia Judd, executive director of SEPA -- Solar Electric Power Association).

Still, I look forward just as much to milling around during coffee breaks, seeing what's new on the "renewable" market, and meeting other likeminded folk.

See you there?

Renewable Energy at Work in India

In India, power shortages are felt nearly everywhere. The reasons range from corruption in government to power theft from over-head power lines. Residents rountinely tamper with electric meters and politicians arrange for families to get free power in exchange for votes. In many small villages, electric power lines are non-existent and the people reside in the darkness with the occassional use of kerosene lanterns.

New Life Evangelistic Center founded an ophranage in the town of Kakinada in southern India. Mark Bernier and Paul Day, recently traveled to India to work with Paparao Yeluchuri, the coordinator of the NLEC center in India and teach how to implement renewable energy. Now, NLEC India is teaching people how to use solar photovoltaics, solar cooking, solar hot water and micro hydro! Thousands participated and it was coverd by state television. Steps are now being taken to use micro-hydro in many rural villages where no electricity exists.
