InterSolar energy comes back to San FranciscoQuestPoint

San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Sacramento are all green cities. Cities that are on the forefront of the renewable energy and sustainable movement. So it comes as not much of a surprise that The California Solar Energy Industries Association (CALSEIA) is hosting the First Annual Solar Summerfest Party Benefiting California’s Solar Industry at CityView, Metreon Rooftop 101 4th Street, San Francisco. Tuesday July 13, 2010, 6:30–10:30 pm. The Reception kicks off InterSolar North America.

This event will attract Intersolar North America’s exhibitors and CALSEIA’s member and potential members from the solar community including Manufacturers, Contractors, Distributors, Engineers, Designers, Consultants, Utilities, Educational organizations, and Local Governments.

Intersolar North America takes place annually in San Francisco’s Moscone Center West Hall. Since its establishment in 2008, the exhibition and conference have developed into the premier platform for the solar industry in North America. Intersolar North America focuses on photovoltaics and solar thermal technology and has very quickly established

itself among manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers and service providers as an international industry meeting point.

The California Solar Energy Industries Association (CALSEIA) is a non-profit organization with the mission to expand the use of all solar technologies in California and establish a sustainable industry for a clean energy future. When the lights go down in the city, the solar professionals come out to celebrate!

Newcomer rapper Professor Green has just confirmed via Twitter that he just laid down a verse for the new Saturdays single ‘Missing You‘. The song has already premiered along with the video minus the rap. So the question is if this is just for a remix or for the album version. Who knows?

The version featuring Professor Green has yet to premiere and is supposedly coming very soon. Here is the message that Professor Green posted on his Twitter:

Did my verse for the saturdays… Look out for an alternative version of ‘Missing You’ ft. Professor Green soooooooon!

Lobbying for Solar

NEW YORK — Applied Materials Inc. spent $320,000 lobbying the federal government in the first quarter of the year on energy legislation and other issues.

That’s more than double the $130,000 the company spent in the same quarter a year ago, according to congressional disclosure forms, but down from $470,000 spent in the quarter before.

Applied Materials provides technology used by solar panel and semiconductor manufacturers. It lobbied the U.S. House, Senate and various federal agencies on the American Clean Energy & Security Act, which would establish a cap-and-trade system to set limits on greenhouse gas emissions.

The company also listed a House bill that would direct the Energy Department to establish a solar energy research program.
