   WoW, it seems that Germany has did their part very well, Caleb. I think that our country should do it even better than Germany did!

   I visited a sight called LayZgreenPeople.com It is like the MySpace or facebook of the green movement. It is great. You can keep up to date on all sorts of things. Learn what steps you can take to help the environment.

   I love the idea of solar but I live in an area where hurricanes come through. Do you know anything about the flexible solar? Thanks for the great writing.

   I have also noticed the abundance of solar power panels while traveling Europe. Someday perhaps we will start to see more of that in the U.S.

   Hi -
   Here in sunny Sth Australia we’re big on solar panels, with good govt subsidies to promote them as well.

   Off topic, but:

   Have you seen the ‘review’ of your site on Tuscson SEO Solutions? (day 73)

   Cheers – Rhys

   @Rhys:

   I had not seen the “review”… thanks for pointing it out.

   On that topic, though, the dark background/light text thing on environmentastic! has always bothered me a little. I actually DID change the text so that it was “whiter” and would stand out from the dark better, but I think that I will change the background to a lighter brown/tan or something – maybe a short fade from dark “dirt” to nearly white/light tan, then dark brown text.

   It’s certainly not the first time I’ve heard that dark BG and light text is not the best solution, from a readership or SEO perspective. It’s never bothered me, though, so I haven’t taken the time to figure out how to fix it.

   Anybody know wordpress and theme design well enough and is willing to volunteer to change the BG to something like what I described above?

   Seriously, though – let me know if you’re interested, anybody…

   Namaste,
   A. Caleb Hartley

   Europe is much further ahead than the US when it comes to solar. My hope is that pictures like these will us rolling!

    Solar is just one of those things that makes such perfect sense. Is it really so cost prohibitive to retro fit homes? How about mandatory solar panels in new home construction?

    It’s great to see so many buildings and home putting up solar panels. Many Americans aren’t really familiar with how you can even buy solar panels and tax credit information. It would be nice if more American buildings began using solar panels or small wind turbines.

    That’s awesome! Germany has been on the leading edge of renewable energy for awhile now! We just moved in to a new place with solar panels and many other “green” features and we’re loving it!

    This is great! IF ONLY it were more readily available in the US. What is preventing this? And how can we change it? What solar resources are there for us here? There may be some answers here: http://www.greatnonprofits.org/green

    They get some type of rebate or help from goverment to do this. I have seen solar panels line the road in germany. I also saw program with farmers making more money from solar panels than from farm. I always tell people you can make money if the electric companies have to buy the power and it does not matter where you live germany does not have alot of sun compared to most places.

    I am sure you will find a lot more solar panels in Europe. It seems that Europe if far more head of the U.S. in terms of usage.

    Just an obervations though….

    Hello from Germany,

    well, we Germans are extremely eco conscious, up to being obsessed…

    the red-green (socialdemocrats-greens) government from 1998-2005 installed some laws like the ability to get paid for energy you create at home and the utility companies have to buy it from you at a fixed price…some build their finances for old age on such a business model…
    and though in my opinion we often overdue it (salad leafs have to have a seperate trash etc.) in some ways I hear that our models are teached at universities abroad as being exemplary
