Editor's Notes
Welcome. My name is Marlene Moore, and I would like to thank you for coming to our presentation on The Power of the Sun; Solar Energy for Nova Scotia. I would also like to thank Melissa Andrew of the Commons North Neighborhood Association for her assistance in organizing this event. Our goal tonight is to share some updated information on the use of renewable and sustainable energy sources, and our focus will be solar energy, and particularly solar for electrical generation.
