If there is any way to send me any of this information I would greatly apperciate it. I live in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin on the mississippi river with huge bluffs surrounding us and I think this concept would fly in this area. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.</p> <p>Donna Reed</p> I am a unemployed construction worker that was self employed and I am very interested in learning how to get started with solar power.

Note that the $100B figure is roughly equivalent to expected investment in coal-fired power plants in the US within the next decade. Oil refineries and pipelines are also expected to draw about that amount within the same timeframe.</p> Good to see some discussion of the critical role that working class opportunities will need to play in the emerging green economy.
