DIY Home Energy
By Virginia Prescott on Tuesday, October 14, 2008.
During this campaign season, we’ve been hearing a lot of talk of a future based on green energy. Almost everyone acknowledges that we need to decrease our dependence on foreign oil, and the realities of global warming and environmental degradation are pushing government officials to think about cleaner options.
Reporter Amy Standen introduces us to the Bay Area residents on the cutting-edge of home energy, and gives us a tour of the wind, geothermal and solar thermal projects right in their backyards. She produced this story for KQED's QUEST radio series. Click here to listen. (Photo by Amy Standen) About usWord of Mouth is all about what's new.
