About this Talk

In Al Gore’s brand-new slideshow (premiering exclusively on TED.com), he presents evidence that the pace of climate change may be even worse than scientists were recently predicting, and challenges us to act with a sense of “generational mission” — the kind of feeling that brought forth the civil rights movement — to set it right.

I really like TED as the speakers are like the Bioneers speakers, they talk about what they are doing and real projects versus academia who talk about what others should do.

I present at the Davis Cave’s Earth Fest to 74 people showing The Climate Project, Oil Addicts Anonymous & my RE presentation all packed into an hour. I like the Earth Fest because the people who come travel from all over to learn about underground building and are serious about “alternative building”.

alternative energy is no longer alternative. It is about as alternative as belly button rings and punk music. Could everyone please say Renewable Energy?New word of the year: Greendexter- people who are overly nerdy, geeky, bookish or techie about green products & trends.

New phrase of the year- Left Wing Capitalist- embraces capitalism while using the triple bottom line
Thought of the year: Climate Change is Bi Polar weather!

With solar there is such a thing as a FREE lunch & supper but first you much pay for breakfast. Basically why rent your energy when you can buy. We can either pay off (ie buy) an renewable energy system or rent (pay an electric bill) forever. Why?
