Renewable Energy in the News

I'm trying a new format for Solar Sunday starting this week.  Going forward Solar Sunday will provide a summary of the the week's most interesting renewable energy news stories. By filtering out repeat stories and lower quality / inaccurate sites I hope to offer a useful Sunday service for people wanting to read about renewable energy but not wanting to sort through all of the data available on the web.  I will also add some editorial commentary in future Sunday posts.  Solar Sunday will inevitably evolve and improve with time so please bear with me. 

Thank you,
Steve Auger.
