They have been in business for over 30 years, their product SolarWall (the "transpired solar collector") is in use on buildings for the US Military, Wal-Mart, Fed Ex, Bombardier, Ford, GM, etc, they have won multiple awards and has been praised by the United States Department of Energy as "[in the] top two percent of energy related inventions." - why don't they get more coverage?!? Watch the flash presentation and tell me this isn't a serious and practical solution to help mitigate GHG gases and climate change...

Solar Energy; Not Just Electricity
(via www.renewableenergyworld.com)
A common inaccuracy that I frequently encounter -- through work, in the media, and in government -- is based on an implied assumption that energy, and energy displacement, and therefore solar energy, revolves solely around electricity. This perception is pervasive in several countries around the world.
