Biorhythms: Nj going solar

How did I miss this? Great job Jan!
We're into solar here in Oregon too and wind power in the east part of the state where it's windy all the time. And we have hydroelectric power from the dams.
We've been green for years..... lol
As a matter of fact I believe it was one of ours......Tom McCall who started the whole can/bottle recycling thing here in OR and now it's spread everywhere.

I just read that there's going to be a new plant being built this summer in Portland that builds solar panels. Hundreds of jobs will also be created.
Green is the future.......and wasn't it Dr. Krugman that said Green is the new Red, White and Blue. I like that.

Great video Jan. You're a cutie.

WOW nice sunny day and boobs Jan!

still smoggy and hot in L.A. Ca

$500,000,000.00+ for essentially big flat plates on poles facing UP towards the hailstones New Jersey gets plastered with EVERY WINTER. Yep, a very good investment indeed [for keeping repair crews in good tax-paying jobs].

Let the circle be unbroken.

Yes, I've seen this in Trenton and other surrounding towns. Very exciting! Now why don't the people across the bridge in PA pick up this idea? Then, I'll be thrilled.

It is very exciting to see more , and more people use solar energy, a cleaner and more economical form of energy, Natural energy is the way of the future.
You killed two birds with one stone, on this one, Jan.. Your video was informative, and entertaining.......Job well done!

like your article thanks for posting

YES very cool ! THIS is how WE bring our country out of the ashes these idiots have buried us in .

This is great! Thank you so much. I post a lot of alternative energy posts to Green and Tech but they don't seem to get much views. This worked well, gonna have to change tactics.

Once again this is great! The technology is here, people are starting to open up to the possibilities and are not buying into the naysayers rhetoric of "the technology isn't here yet, it'll be 20 years before that will work." This is a great example of what is out there and what can be done in a small or large scale. Your three minute video will be getting unaware NJ residents looking up the poles and seeing a wonderful system that is working and will open their minds. I applaud you for that Jan. Thanks again. There are not many things better than seeing progress. Watch out naysayers, the change has all ready began.

Wow. I guess change will ultimately come at the local and state level. It's amazing to see this accomplished. Hopefully we can push for this in the state I live in. Thanks for reporting on this Jan and keeping on top of developments in solar.. It's great to see some positive developments on Current once and awhile.

I love the citizen journalism that was originally supposed to be a Hallmark of Current.

You just not only made my day but you made my life! So glad to finally see this. Peaceful solar panels on poles with grid tie. There is a small wind turbine up on a pole outside of Seabrook Nuke plant. I wanted to take a picture but I didn't have my camera. The pro-nukers, pro-coal, pro-oil/gas stock holders will say the solar panels are ugly. Thank you so much for posting. Good to see you!

Great initiative, and it's good to see and hear you, Jan. :)

Next step - cover rooftops with solar panels.

Thanks Jan for this video. These solar panels are fantastic and an ingenious idea. They would be great up in the Northwest Territories in the summer but with our long days of darkness in the winter we would have to look at alternatives, possibly wind. However, because a number of our communities are isolated it would be very expense to bring them to these communities. Some communities up here do not even have cell phone services.

Infortunately, our neighbor, Alberta is the oil capital of Canada. They are polluting our ground water with the tar sands. But as usual money talks.

Hip, Hip, HOORAY! -- or as remanns would say +^d!

Hey Jan, that is really a great report. I had no idea things such as this are happening. I need to educate myself more about this fine technology. I spent a little time last couple weeks trying to figure a way to have my Airstream fitted with these, so far, all that I could figure out, (learning curve is high for me right now) it was going to be pretty expensive and more than than I can afford to invest presently. I know it will save money in long run, the initial investment did not match my pocket book? But the more we invest in this technology, the lower in price it will be. I look forward to that. I think they are beautiful!

Thanks for showing this. It's a great project and more can be seen here: http://www.petrasolar.com/petra-solar-product-and-services-utility.php
Now if we could just use the dead space on rooftops everywhere, we'd be half way there...

Great job Jan!

Very cool. A great example of what can be done on the local level using local companies.

Great video.
