So it’s coming up to that time when folks start making all kinds of resolutions for the year ahead. If yours is to finally start researching the process of going solar, then this video from Google Tech Talks might be of help. Running through an overview of the technology; the process of installing a system; key questions to ask; examples; solar energy myths, and a Q&A, this provides a pretty comprehensive introduction. It’s not, perhaps, the most thrilling presentation in the world, but it does cover all the basics. For more information on Google’s activities in solar, check out our posts on their solar trees or pictures of their rooftop installation (apparently the largest single corporate installation in the world). And for more info on what you can do at home, take a look at our guide on How to Green Your Electricity . ::Google Tech Talks::via YouTube::

I turned it off about about the 20th "um," and just after she said that she had been on the debate team. Not a speaker that I would be able to endure- I think I'll read an article instead.
And happy holidays.
A Third Type of Solar Energy not mentioned is solar lighting. My windowless kitchen now looks many times better with the sola-tube thing....or worse considering its an old ugly kitchen. heh
The first girl is nooooot a great public speaker, she says um and smacks her lips so many times I can't sit through it
