If renewable energy is going to truly rise to the fore and supersede fossil fuels in the world's energy portfolio, corporations will need to be on board in their implementation.

It is so important to begin teaching children early that healthy choices are “cool” choices. My mom did this with me, and I learned early that if I wanted to keep control of my weight and health that I needed to take care of myself. I know I would not have the health I have today had my mom not been as into health as she was. I have begun this with my children and I can see it is already working. “Green is GOOD” in our home! My son loves taking things like mint flavored chlorophyll, omega oils, and NingXia Red. Although he was born with some minor health problems, like chronic dry skin, he is overcoming them through a good diet.

Is this true and what do you think about all that? – Lisa N., Wilton, CT

The photovoltaic (PV) industry underwent a major shift in 2009; module prices plummeted and a large inventory build-up occurred due to a lack of project financing.

Here are a few of the important lessons the industry has learned this year:
