Fellow Wrenches, Last year I prepared an hour's presentation for our local Solar Fiesta on "Energy Myths, Schemes and Scams". I covered mostly PV and the solar industry, with a few slides about the physics of wind and those cute spinny yard-art things called VAWTs. I also hit on "it takes more energy to make a PV panel than it will ever produce", the limitations of 25-year module warranties, "free energy generators", James McKirdy, lunar modules, and modules with fraudulent listings. This was what I was able to pull together. The workshop was popular and I have been asked to give it again in a couple of weeks. I'm looking for any suggestions that you may have for new or additional material to update the presentation. Any ideas are welcome, especially if you can provide links to good stories and slide materials. This is for a general non-technical audience, but I have the freedom to go in any direction I wish. So I'd like to be more than just entertaining, but make points about value over price, using local installers with knowledge and experience, etc. Beside my appreciation for the material, I'll offer in return to share an editable version of the presentation for your own use (although it's a 14 meg PowerPoint file at present). Thank you in advance for your suggestions of anything that gets your blood boiling, that would be funny if it wasn't giving PV and clean energy a bad name. Allan --
