LAST WEEK:Mark Brown - Solar Energy and Chip Hartney's Classification Talk
First may I thank Jan for taking notes in my absence.
Highlights from solar energy:
cheapest energy to produce (direct from the sun)
by 2040 CO will be 100% renewable
when solar is used, it can create overproducing bank of KWhrs
cheaper than electricity
purchase of solar will be a 30% tax credit to you in the first year of purchase
you OWN your own energy
I'm sorry I missed Chip's talk; he has led a most interesting life leading him across the country. We are all pleased he landed here and hoping this is his final Rotary Club.
We welcomed Tom's nephew and wife, Lee and Chai Young and Eric's guest, Brice Zimmerman.
