Solarize!

[from Bill]:

The public is invited! Wednesday, August 29, 7:00 p.m. in the basement of the Ho Chunk: John Murphy (formerly of La Crosse, now in Viroqua), owner of Greenhome Solar, will educate those present about the new technologies and benefits of solar hot water and space heating systems. He'll bring demo models of new solar collectors; he also promises a slide show on some of his recent installations. He'll surprise many with his information about state and federal rebates, that could possibly result in a $6000 system costing you as little as $1000!

John will also talk about Focus on Energy, the state program that promotes investment in renewable energy systems and technologies. He'll be happy to answer questions about car conversions to bio-diesel, about ways to achieve greater energy efficiency in homes and businesses.

Currently, John is an instructor at Viroqua's Youth Initiative high school (chemistry, physics, electricity). He is a long-time advocate of alternative energy technologies and the environment. His email address is nonewCO2@yahoo.com, and his telephone number is 608-790-1789.
