In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

  1. So why if your mission is to bring solar to the masses are you ripping them off by making huge profits on the sale or lease of each system?  All he's doing is making tons of money for Wall Street investors while saving the average homeowner a few hundred dollars a years.  

    If he really wanted to make a difference in the world and get everyone to use solar like he says he wouldn't be giving $25,000 and a 30% tax credit to Wall Street investors for sale of each system.

  2. Danny obviously has "big balls"…but his kids that run the business at hand….have no clue what they're doing today… people should be OWNING THEIR OWN SOLAR PROJECTS….not leasing.  Don't let anyone "lease you a system when you have the ability to OWN!"

  7. Environmental problems can be solved through profit seeking. For example, if energy producers all colluded to fix the price of all energy (gas, coal, and oil) so that prices are high, people will cut back on energy consumption.
