Due to the Gap Fire our first Alternative Energy meeting will be rescheduled to August 7th 2008. It will be at the same place, Denny's in Goleta at 12 noon until 1 pm or longer if needed.
Out of 1,700 people with mandatory evacuation from the fire and 2,400 on alert it stands as a testament to the incredible work the fire fighters are doing that not a single home has been lost!
I live with my wife, son, and daughter, on about 7 acres on West Camino Cielo and we are still in a mandatory evacuation status. We watched a fire fighter on a bulldozer drive into burning brush and push it right over the ridge top within less than a quarter mile from our home. He made our day! They are all doing a fantastic job fighting this fire. The next opportunity I have to make a donation to the fighters I will because they have, as usual, earned it. I hope you will too.
With the power going off and on 4 times a day for hours at a time it was another good example of the importance of alternative energy. We made it through with a back up generator and I am happy to say we are working with Richard Dean who owns and operates www.RMTec.net. We are moving forward on permits for wind and solar which will eventually be very helpful during times of no power and of course charging electric cars.
Please register on the upper right side of this blog site so we get your RSVP. This will help save you a space and let our speaker know we have enough people showing so they can show up too.
Thank you and I look forward to see you there.
