Intersolar Begins a Flurry of Solar Announcements
Today marks the beginning of Intersolar North America 2008 - the nation's largest trade event serving the complete solar energy supply chain.
And with it, of course, a ton of major solar announcements to leverage the excitement around the event. Below is a list of some announcements leading up to and during today's conference.
- Concentrated photovoltaic provider, GreenVolts, today announced that it is going to raise a series B funding round of a little less than $100 million.
- Ausra, a utility-scale solar technology provider and developer, announced that it was looking into selling its solar powered steam for oil recovery.
- First Solar announced that it will build California's first thin-film photovoltaic solar power plant.
- As reported by NEXT100's Len Anderson, SunPower announced that it was going to build a 25 megawatt photovoltaic solar plant, the nation's largest, for Florida Power and Light.
Stay tuned. With three more days of Intersolar, there will no doubt be more to come.

This is being rather generous to Lutz.
1. The "Volt", in no small part, will be targeted as a product to people who care about energy and environmental issues. These people don't embrace Lutz' antideluvian concepts of rejecting science. How responsible is it for a GM executive to be rejecting the science?
2. As well, Lutz didn't exactly sound too enthusiastic about the Volt itself.
3. And, GM public communications has 'defended' Lutz in rather absurd ways.

This article is right on - small businesses have a huge role to play in sustainability. Not only do they add up in aggregate, but many small businesses operate in industries that can have a significant environmental impact depending on the exact practices, like dry cleaners, auto repair shops, etc. Green is also starting to affect the bottom line more and more, customers are increasingly voting with their feet for more sustainable businesses as can be seen from the growth of sites like http://www.ecovian.com. This is also a huge opportunity for small businesses to leapfrog their bigger brothers by being more agile in adopting these measures.

Great entry, Katie. Love the level of detail you managed to get in there! Probably won't be able to compete with coal and oil any time the next decade, but definitely a great technology to look into! Keep it up :)
