What is the present status of solar energy? What are the future prospects for solar energy in the world of conventional and renewable energy sources? What is the cost of solar energy--is it competitive with other energy sources? How does solar energy relate to energy independence, public policy and environmental considerations?

All this and more will be discussed in an interactive and educational style, with the goal of educating while not advocating for or against solar energy.

This is the first of a new series in which local Institute Members (who are not experts on the subject) will study their subject in depth and develop a comprehensive report. This program will be a brief summary of all they have learned.

Future studies will include other sources of both conventional and renewable energy, and a new team is already working on the next study which will be on nuclear energy.

Our team of solar presenters are three retired locals: Bob Moore, an executive in high tech...Art King, a DPA firm partner...Don Priest, an executive in real estate companies.

This is a repeat by popular demand of our July 7 program.

Join us and see and learn about solar energy and consider participating in future energy study groups!

Interest in sustainable investing has been growing rapidly with greater consciousness given to environmental, social and ethical issues involved in the stewardship and well-being of our planet.
