2009-08-31T14:40:00.000-07:00

Sorry... I have not blogged here regularly as I had hoped to. In addition to the solar roofing industry (technology, industry trends, company news, as well as public policy related to solar and other renewable energy), I have been expanding my knowledge about green buildings, energy storage, sustainability, bio-fuels, and other cleantech industries by attending various meetings and seminars and the cornucopia of information available for free on the web through blogs, Twitter, articles, and even some free reports.

So, armed with all this information, I hope to re-start blogging soon.

In the mean time, do follow me on Twitter.
