The future is constantly moving and changing. We as humans have to constantly move and change with it. Explore different options. Be uncomfortable. Not be afraid of change. Experiment with new possibilities or avenues that may make the world a better place for our children and next generation. This course has opened my eyes to the advancements as well as the obstacles of Solar Energy and Energy Storage. The new avenues I can take to push the agenda of clean air and a healthy planet. Also, how we all need to encourage our communities and leaders to help steer the country in a direction of clean renewable energy.

Presenter / instructor was fabulous, in that his entire intent seemed to be to open your world up to renewable energy and the various sources of information, basically putting you in the driver's seat on acquiring more and more knowledge and just taking off. The assignments made you actually get into all these different information sources and group websites so you become appraised first-hand of all the information and sources of information available. This is a unique method of getting a student up to a much higher level of understanding, by connecting the student up to like-minded organizations and groups.
