Hello world

[Bruce Barley]

Athan, This is a very nice idea! Glad to see a "facebook" for renewable energy. It will grow when the word gets out more! Will this be posted in the G.E.O. magazines?

[Athan Barkoukis]

Bruce, we developed this as a platform for all to learn and share info on renewable energy, but without a GEO specific focus. I am trying to get the word out so please include on your business website and promote among your network. Just download the RenewablesOhio 'badge' onto your website.

[Bruce Barley]

We will do this, we ought to be getting a web site up and running within the next month. Amercian Scientific, corp. has agreed to market and sell the education systems through-out the states!

Bruce -

Yes, we will highlight the Renewables Ohio web page in the Green Energy Ohio News Magazine now in final editing. We are also placing it on our website and emails to get the word out as green energy is rapidly expanding across Ohio.

The Ohio Department of Development Energy Resource Division Education and Outreach Grant this past Monday brought together a diverse set of state stakeholders in Columbus to develop better ways to encourage consumers and business to adopt Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Green Energy Ohio and OSU Extension Service are the grant contractors in this ODOD effort with GEO and Extension developing a statewide website as part of this grant to bring together EE and RE incentives and educational outreach info. I showed the stakeholder planning meeting this new RenewablesOhio social network page and encouraged their participation.

GEO hopes this new network tool will promote a bigger than ever 2010 Ohio Solar Tour. See last year's 170 tour sites in 91 communities last October at: www.greenenergyohio.org/ost/page.cfm?pageId=719
