There are many tremendous technologies, processes, and such out there that can help us move toward a prosperous and sustainable energy future.  These range from urban bike programs to energy efficient public housing to finding out just how easy it is to cook with the sun. Or, as advertised here, Frying in the Sun.

ANNOUNCEMENT  There is a major Solar Cooking Demonstration in Washington, DC, by the US Senate Friday afternoon, 27 July. Information within the diary.

Interested in solar electricity?  Have I ever got the deal for you ...

That, in part, is CitizenRE's claim that have been viral through the web -- advertisements at website/blog after website/blog (including Daily Kos and Political Cortex).

The promise:

• Citizenrē will put solar electricity on your rooftop and sell the electricity to you at a fixed price (based on your current rates) for decades to come;
  
• Citizenrēis revolutionizing the entire process of solar electricity such that they can deliver these systems for a fraction of the price than the market currently sees.

Oh, the ads are appealing ... and those of us terrified for the future are hopeful for solutions, for paths that promise a better tomorrow.  

Oh, the promises are lovely ... I, for one, was within seconds of signing and faxing in a contract.

But, is something too good to be true, true?  My doubts are rocketing through the web ...

WARNING: This is a long discussion -- and, yet, it only gives a shadow of what is out there on Citizenrē.
