Green power is good. Buckminster Fuller wrote that every citizen of planet Earth is energy rich, and we simply have to invent better ways of harvesting our wealth. He correctly envisioned solar panels as roofing shingles on residential homes, and windmills that quietly extract power from clean air above green cities. In his Utopian visions there are electric cars in docking stations recharging under the hot sun as people work indoors in air conditioned office towers cooled with water stored in geothermal loops deep underground.

Lenzr members, please upload pictures of green power systems and show us how far humans have already come to realizing this dream. Carbon friendly hydro electricity is now being made on a small scale at home, and also by big companies that raise capital for large engineering projects. Waterwheels are coming back into style, and wind pumps move liquids through pipelines with burning gas. Have you ever seen an ethanol plant? Or run your hands through wood pellets made from waste products? Share the wonders of green power with our audience and help raise everyone's awareness of the many different ways of making electricity.

Win a powerful portable solar kit , the Escape 150 gives you 150 watt-hours of rechargeable power. Featuring an integrated 80-watt inverter that provides regulated safe power while protecting your connected devices from power surges. Now you can harness energy collected by the Boulder 15M Solar Panel or quickly power up from a regular outlet to be used whenever or wherever you need it. This kit courtesy of Solarline Power: Ontario Microfit program web page, and consider the benefits of generating green energy from renewable sources such as the sun, wind, water or bioenergy, and selling it for a guaranteed price
