In line with my recent focus on alternative energy, I'd like to draw your attention to an organization in Texas pushing for solar power: the Texas Solar Energy Society [1]. Their mission statement "is to increase the awareness of the potential of solar and other renewable energy applications and to promote the wise use of these sustainable and non-polluting resources." They have lots of information on alternative energy including how you can help build renewable energy infrastructure by purchasing green energy [2] (my wife and I do this here in NY State...it only costs us about 50 cents extra a month). Given the fact that we have less than 10 years (maybe only 5 years) to act to mitigate global warming, I really think local and state level organizations like these are critical to changing energy policy in America.
The Texas Solar Energy Society has chapters in:
El Paso [3]
Houston [4]
San Antonio [5]
North Texas [6]
And Central Texas [7].
Check them out, help them out and go green in Texas.
