Found a link from treehugger.com to the latest national solar homes tour. I went on one of these back in ‘96 or ‘97 and it was inspirational and fun. My friend Chris Schaefer at Solar and Wind FX is organizing the Finger Lakes part of the tour. A list of locations and directions is on his site.

I don’t know most of these folks, but I heard Bill LaBine give an interesting talk a few years ago on making biodiesel from waste vegetable oil. He was on to peak oil before most and just seems like a fascinating guy to talk to. He’s been doing alternative energy for a long time. I’m hoping to interview both Chris and Bill for upcoming posts, so this might be a really good chance for me to touch base with both of them.
