Wow! Just got back from the Better Buildings Better Business Conference in the Wisconsin Dells! (The picture at left shows just a few of the solar thermal panels on the roof of the Kalahari Resort, where the conference took place.) Boy was there enough good stuff there to feed me posting ideas for weeks!

Having rejected TV at the age of 18 (and never missed it since,) I wasn't prepared to enjoy the keynote speaker as much as I did. But Ed Begley Jr. (if you watch the tube you might recognize him as the host of "Living With Ed") gave me a very pleasant surprise. He's real, he's passionate, he's personable, and he had some very good points.

My favorite was when someone asked what he thought of nuclear energy.

"Nuclear?" he replied, "I'm 100% in favor of nuclear energy. We have a perfectly safe reactor putting out perfectly safe nuclear energy...93 million miles away."

Stay tuned for more about Ed - he's got a lot to say that resonates with the whole reason for living Green!
