After reading about the benefits of solar power and its growth in retail markets, I’m surprised to learn that the US is not quite ready for it.

Last night I was fortunate enough to see Al Gore live at his presentation in Calgary. Al Gore, global warming and polite, factual, unrelenting persistence go together like peas and carrots. Ok, he can be humorous too.

Here are some interesting earthday facts you can use around the water cooler =)
