KENTUCKY HIGH SCHOOL RADIO STATION IMPLEMENTS SOLAR POWER

Green energy solutions are increasingly finding themselves incorporated into various daily processes. Residential and commercial properties are having their lights, heat and technology powered with the of the sun. Corbin High School's radio station is now broadcasting over the wavelengths using solar energy.

WYMT TV reports that the high school, located in Corbin, Kentucky, was able to make the switch to solar energy thanks to a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission for $10,000. Now, brand new solar panels will begin to collect the sun's energy to power the 100 watt transmitter needed for the school's radio station.

Teachers claim that the introduction of solar energy for the radio station is just one move the school is making to include green energy technology and sustainable solutions into the educational facility. Promoting sustainability at a high school may get students thinking about the consequences of their energy use and the energy solution solar and other renewable sources offer.

Students are encouraged to learn about solar energy, according to the news source, and how it integrates with the broadcasting system.
"I've never seen any solar power around here, especially since we're in such a coal area, and since you can run something like this from solar energy is just awesome," student Tanner Broughton, told the news source.

The integration of solar panels into the radio tower required special hookups.

"We do want to make some hard connections to the electric back-up there just to make sure, but at this point the batteries are now fully charged and we're ready to go solar," radio station manager David Colvin, told the news source.

Officials and faculty at Corbin High School are hopeful that solar energy will soon be incorporated into the school's science curriculum, reports WYMT TV.

Day one of Intersolar North America focuses on state of the industry

Intersolar North America kicked off July 9 in San Francisco, and Renewable Energy World reported that the first day's presenters addressed the “titanic shift” that occurred within the solar industry over the course of the year.
This past year has seen a number of solar manufacturers go bankrupt, most notably big industry player Solyndra. The plant closures and bankruptcies spurred concern over the effectiveness of the Obama administration’s clean energy agenda, with many debating the future of the solar industry even with record growth around the world.
Tom Cheyney with Impress Labs presented on the first day of Intersolar. He acknowledged the difficulties that manufacturers have had, faced with a glut in the market and the availability of low-cost product from China, but he said that the difficulties are a natural part of the industry's maturation.
“There’s a word for it. It’s called carnage,” he said of the closures, adding, “And that goes for any industry with growth like solar.”
Two of the first presenters at the conference, Chase Weir of Distributed Sun and Sanjay Shrestha of Lazard Capital, maintained that the future of solar is bright, and that in order to realize the full potential of solar power, there is a necessary attitude shift and a need for a re-examination of market mechanisms. Weir pointed to the need for more access to capital and fewer major manufacturers.
Intersolar North America continues with the conference through July 12, with exhibitions beginning July 10. The goal of INA is to provide a forum that will allow insight into the North American solar market, gathering companies from around the globe to share their knowledge and experiences in an effort to fuel the implementation of this green energy source.

DIRECT SALES MARKET OUTPACES GDP FOR GROWTH

The direct selling market continues to grow in the United States and across the globe, providing evidence of the model's success in the modern day business marketplace.

According to Direct Selling Association's "Annual Growth & Outlook Survey," direct sales increased by 4.6 percent from 2010, totalling $29.87 billion in 2011 compared to $28.56 billion in 2010. DSA's findings also show that the industry grew more than the gross domestic product did over the same time period - the GDP only experienced a 3.9 percent increase over the same time frame.

"Growing a small business when the economy is struggling is a tall order," said DSA president Joseph Mariano. "As an industry that celebrates entrepreneurship, the achievements made in 2011, particularly by small direct selling companies, are remarkable."

Of all industries surveyed - which included industries such as home durables, personal care, wellness and clothing, according to the survey participation form - nearly 50 percent experienced major growth in sales. One particular standout was Viridian Energy, which received DSA's 2012 ETHOS Rising Star Award for 2012. Past recipients of the annual award include Team Beachbody, a wellness company that tailors meal and workout plans for its clients, and Rodan + Fields, a skincare product company.
