Wake up to the power of solar Ron Swenson, SolarQuest ® MBITA Santa Cruz, California June 22, 2007

Solar energy is the only way to stop global warming and mitigate oil depletion. We are out of time. We cannot be complacent. SolarQuest continues with its solar energy / energy conservation program in the Galapagos Islands for UNDP and Ecuador’s Ministry of Energy under sponsorship of UNF and the e8. SolarQuest is organizing a Renewable Nations Network, combining University capacity partners in the USA with educational institutions in-country. The Elevator Speech

For example: Mexican oil is fading… Cantarell, one of the world’s Big 4 Fields, is dropping fast. Cantarell offshore facility

Human Capacity Building for Sustainable Energy Development

Renewable energy programs and monitoring

We are also doing things locally Real Estate Strategies & Solutions, Project Developer Barry Swenson Builder, General Contractor ElectroRoof, Project Integrator Owens Electric and Solar, System Installer Central Coating Company, Roofer Solar Technologies, Panel supplier Plantronics, Santa Cruz

120,000 TW of solar energy received by the Earth

Total Area Required for a PV Power Plant to Produce the Total US Electrical Demand

Personal Rapid Transit (Podcars)

Podcars can be powered 100% by solar

Thomas Edison “I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait 'til oil and coal run out before we tackle that.” ( )
