Batteries Included- The Climate Minute Podcast

Elon Musk, of Tesla Motors fame, recently announced a new product called PowerWall which is intended to bring simple and low cost ‘energy storage’ (i.e. energy from your solar panels) to safe place in your home. It is a high tech battery that could change the economics of renewable power.

Nice, but here in Massachusetts the Baker Administration has sided with the minority opinion on a study committee which consequently  puts continued solar energy development in jeopardy.  Go here to find out how to contact your Rep, Senator or the Governor himself. They will be interested in your opinion. But first, listen to the podcast!

•    The Tesla Announcement
•    Do we have all the technology we need?
•    Net Metering FAQ

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
