Great post! The Tipping Point is a great read and sure does apply well to our industry!

Great post, SolarFred. I would love to get involved and will do what I can to get media contact info. Who else is on board? We should try to compile a list of those who are looking to do something so we can keep ourselves on it...

Great feature, we need more humanitarians like Walt. Very impressive.

Congressman Giffords,

I enjoyed reading your comments very much. As a solar installer in Phoenix, I too have found the most difficult part of this industry to be educating the public. When a person shops for a vehicle, they often know exactly what it is they are looking for. It is simply a competition between dealers in an attempt to sell their vehicle over a competitor's.

Sadly, in the solar industry this is much different. This potential customer first must be educated and sold on the benefits of solar in general, and that is before they even decide who it will be to install. I have spent hours upon hours doing my best to educate as many as possible about solar and what it can do to strengthen the economy and clean up our planet. But there is still a ton of work to be done as far as advocacy and education.

It saddens me to hear that your colleagues have not seen the solar "light". To people like us, going solar is a no-brainer and making it easier for the consumer to do so should be of top priority in Congress.

Lately, I have been trying to get more and more involved with both of these areas, education and advocacy. So count me in for any community and business outreach. As soon as people start to understand solar, they'll realize this is something they want and NEED to be a part of ASAP!!
