This community news site has run many editorials and posts in favor of more solar energy.

This Friday there will be a talk and book signing by Erik Curren, author of The Solar Patriot: A Citizen’s Guide to Helping America Win Clean Energy Independence.

From book description:

In the spirit of 1776, The Solar Patriot aims to recruit ordinary citizens as champions for homegrown, all-American clean energy. If you think that solar power should become America’s top energy source, and you’d like to help make it happen, then this is the book you’ve been waiting for. Even if you don’t have solar panels on your own roof, The Solar Patriot will give you ideas to join the revolution to free America from the tyranny of fossil fuels and make our nation cleaner, safer and more prosperous.

After Erik’s talk, he will join panelists Katharine Bond of Dominion Energy and Aaron Sutch of Solar United Neighbors of Virginia for a discussion of what it will take to get more solar power in Virginia.

The event will take place at 3 pm in the VCU Commons Theater (907 Floyd Ave) and it is free and open to the public.
