I didn't go but got the email about it...

from the email:

Solar and Energy Efficiency Versus the Status Quo

A Presentation by Bruce Plenk, City of Tucson Solar Energy Coordinator, and Russell Lowes, Sierra Club Rincon Group Energy Chair and Research Director for www.SafeEnergyAnalyst.org

This presentation will cover:
What is solar energy?
What is energy efficiency?
What me? Get solar for my house?
First do the energy efficiency thing!
How do I calculate the cost solar energy for my house?
What are the methods beyond buying the system outright?
What if I rent a home?
What are the incentives for solar?
What is my impact when I go all solar, as opposed to all TEP/utility electricity?

How does solar compare with coal, natural gas and nuclear subsidies?
Come see how much your utility bills could be with and without the correct course of renewables and efficiencies. And come see how the environmental impact is being reduced with this massive movement into the solar age.

I hope to see you all at The Shanty @ 6o'clock!
The presentation will start at 7 sharp.

My Dad went solar in 84 or 85. He liked it a lot.
If I owned my own place, I would want to move in that direction also.
