what about Mass Megawatts Wind Power Inc
What are you doing to make renewable energy more accessible to the common consumer?
I would like to know what memories they have of being inspired in a way that led them to action or to where they are today.
Harry, thanks for the insight. I missed them! My apologies, I also missed FloDesign, another really cool wind company in MA. I'll have to do it again in 2011.
Andreas and Kirsten; Amazing questions, thank you so much for your input. I'll be sure to address those questions when I talk with them. I love getting peoples personal stories of inspiration and also think addressing the common consumer is a HUGE issue.
