Solar Advocates Pump Out 70 Letters At Party For A Solar New York
Our good friends at Solar One are out to change the way we use solar energy in NYC. They held their second Party for a Solar New York last month at Southpaw in Brooklyn, where they churned out some serious solar activism, a racing contest between funky homemade solar powered toy race cars, a Q&A with a solar installer, and some good times.
Drawing close to 150 guests, the party was a huge success. Nearly half of those attending sat down and wrote letters to their state legislators in support of I Heart PV’s current legislative goal: the creation of an Empire State Solar Initiative to dramatically boost solar adoption in New York over the next ten years.

PopSci.com covered the event as well, reporting:
Organizer Chris Neidl said that Solar One’s broader goal is to make solar energy provide for a significant portion of New York’s energy use. He would like to see 2,000 megawatts produced by solar by 2020, making New York the east coast capital of solar energy.
