Sundance Solar One of the last remaining pristine mountains in West Virginia, Coal River Mountain is being blown up as we speak. The blasting is right next to an earthen dam holding back 8 billion gallons of coal sludge. This warrants another WTF.

Last week, blasting began on Coal River Mountain in West Virginia. This is a part of the country where dynamite routinely goes off—turning the region’s historic mountain ranges into dust for the tiny coal seams that lie beneath their surface.

Sad to hear of the passing of my friend Bob Rines. It is hard to convey the impact he had on me and Sundance Solar. He believed in me and my crazy solar ideas and Sundance
Solar exists today in part because of Robert Rines. While he was mostly known for his search for the Loch Ness monster, he helped develop ultrasound... and microwave technology, held over 80 patents, developed early-warning missile-detection technology for the military, wrote music for many Broadway and off-Broadway productions and won an Emmy, founded Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, NH and was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame. His inventions helped find the Titanic. He started the Academy of Applied Science that includes the Young Inventors Celebration, a great program that encourages invention and creativity in kids. He taught at MIT for over fifty years. He was like a Leonardo Da Vinci of our time. All this and this man had the time to help me. I'll miss him.Read More

Sundance Solar In 1931, speaking with Henry Ford and Tire Man Harvey Firestone, Thomas Edison said "I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy! What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that." The first working solar cell was made in 1954 by Bell Labs, both were in New Jersey.
