Hello everyone!

I hope your summer is going great…
there are wonderful things happening at Citizenre…
and in the World!!!

We will be doing our first Citizenre solar installation on the Living with Ed show. The installation is scheduled to be recorded in three weeks. The Living With Ed show is on theHGTV channel which starts their fall season at the end of August. We do not know the exact time it will be aired, but we will let you know.

Since our plant is not online, we will need to use panels from another manufacturer, but the show will focus on our rental model and how we make solar simple. The installation will even be done by our own Stephen Gates.(Ecopreneur)

This will be an exciting milestone in the growth of our mission.

… and here are a few websites with very interesting renewable energy-techno news….

I got this from a new site called Powurwiki, put together by other Ecopreneurs. You may also find even more great information there.

From Rob Styler… here is a link from a recent radio interview with David Gregg, the CEO of Citizenre. This is a long stream and David is in the last part. Before David, Jeff Wolfe, who has been active critic of ours, shares his model and his perspective. He is not aggressively against us in this interview, but he suggests that we are not real.
David’s responses are great and the enthusiasm of the hosts is priceless!
