GREEN IS THE HOT TOPIC

My name is Sidney Travis and I represent Solar Bravo a renewable energy consulting firm located in Newark, NJ
As you well know our country's energy needs are demanding. Alternative energy is "THE" hot topic, whether it's solar, geothermal, wind power, biomass, electric cars, etc. The landscape is changing and consumers are looking for alternative energy sources to combat the increasing costs of oil and the need to conserve our environment. Solar Bravo has the scale and know-how to create sustainable programs for residents and businesses in your district. I would like the opportunity to share and develop these programs with you, the consumer, specifically solar energy. For the people of New Jersey the benefits associated with renewable energy extend beyond conservation to healthy communities, job creation, economic development, and energy independence. Consumers in NJ are eager to learn more about this information and we believe we can create programs that help them do thier part for the environment.
You know our state has one of the best if not the best incentive programs in the US if not the world. As a citizen of NJ Solar Bravo believes we can keep New Jersey on the leading edge of the greening of America.

I would like to set-up some time with you to share our plans. I can be reached @862-216-1575

Top Green Predictions of 2008

Home, green home. I’d hate to be selling my house right now. But in a real-estate market where every little differentiation can make or break a contract, I think you’ll see sellers invest in improvements and renovations that are just as much focused on energy-efficiency as style. My energy bill this month alone was more than $500, and I use natural gas. I hate to think of where the price of home heating oil stands. The fact remains that there are more than 28,000 LEED projects under construction today, compared with about 300 just a couple of years ago. And that’s the NEW stuff. It doesn’t even take into account retrofits. Read full article

Community in Califoria 100% Solar

Solara is the first apartment community in California to be fully powered by the sun. The 56-unit apartment community, which opened yesterday, has some pretty impressive green features.

The solar panels provide 100% power for the entire residential complex, and, on some days, provides surplus electricity to feed the region’s power grid. Read full article

Town that runs on 100% renewable power

Varese, a town in Northern Italy, runs on 100% renewable power. The town uses a mix of wind, solar and small-scale hydropower. The town has reaped benefits from the energy network through added jobs, and an additional 350,000 euros [US $514,000] in revenues that are handed over to the council each year. Varese has also seen a six-fold increase in tourists in the last ten years, many coming just to see its renewable energy network.
Varese became the first municipality in Europe to get 100% of its power from renewable energy sources six years ago. It now generates three times more electricity than the people living in Varese need and there are plans in the pipeline for even more renewables. Read full article
