COS Small Business Success Allows Access to Solar Energy w/ Minimal Investment

Fact: The majority of electricity we use in Colorado Springs is generated by burning coal.

Do you want to reduce the amount of coal you burn?

First: Conserve. Turn off lights, appliances and phantom loads when not use (behavior). Convert to energy efficient appliances and weatherize your home (technology).

Second: Applaud Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) for aiming to increase the amount of electricity they provide from renewable sources (hydro, wind, solar) to 20% (A State mandate for municipal utilities. Private Colorado utilities are have a 30% mandate.)

Third: If you can afford $1,100, visit MySunShare.com. Colorado Springs Small Business owner, David Amster-Olszewski, is pursuing the development of a unique opportunity which as been called a community solar garden, and can show you how to benefit by investing in solar energy without putting panels on your home.
