We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.

I think they're great and give a real sense of what the forum is capable of, so if you're looking for a reason to join, check these out.

Solar Energy Forum I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy.... If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago. ~Sir George Porter

Default Los Angeles Unveils World’s Largest Solar Plan
San Francisco is usually designated the green capital of California, but now LA is trying to take the City by the Bay’s crown with the world’s largest solar plan. Yesterday, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced a long-range plan to gather enough solar power to meet 10 percent of LA’s energy needs by 2020.

Hopefully it will happen. All solar plans seem to be well into the future though so I'll believe it when I see it.

Looks like it really is happening. Seems the power companies there are under a mandate which can be met by installing PV's (relatively quick).

I lived in LA for a couple of years back in the day. Anything to reduce air pollution in that town is a good thing!

Looks like there's quite a competition here. China announced the worlds biggest solar plant last week. Will this be bigger than that one?
