In My Backyard – There is a nuclear power plant about 100 million miles away beaming energy right to your house! The sun has been doing that for billions of years. Plants have been harvesting that energy for about a billion years. Yet here, we humans are supplying less than 1% of our energy needs with the power of the sun. But things are finally changing; they’re changing fast.  Why does solar energy make sense now? How does it work? What are the economics for installing it on a house or business? Answering these question with compelling illustrations and practical examples will lead us to ask one last, haunting question: How will my generation be remembered? Come be inspired by discussion!
