| I finally made it to the Solar Decathlon this afternoon. I rained way
too hard yesterday. Well work the trip. The exhibitors are gone but the
houses are going to be there through next weekend. I spent three hours
talking to several Solar power and heat manufacturers and distributors.
It was quite informative. Only one battery manufacture made an appearance.
Some of the houses look conventional some are quite interesting and
others funky. It is apparent a lot of thought and creative energy went
into these projects.

Thanks for the heads up, Michelle. I was going to go, but with this
weather it did not feel right to look at anything solar ;-) What do you
mean by "exhibitors gone"? I thought they have a winner announcement this
week, I was kinda hoping to make it to DC next weekend...

| Sorry,
The vendors are gone they were only there for three days. I.e. Xantrex,
SMA, Outback and many others.
The houses are going to be there until next Sunday the 16th.
