The future of solar power

The future of solar is already here. A group of kids -- as in, 5th through 8th graders -- has created a solar energy start-up in Silicon Valley.

Start-Up Fueled by Kids' Imaginations

The energy and interest here are inspiring. These children are looking at the world and trying to help in whatever way they can, not from a place of greed or fear ("how can I get what I want and feel secure about it?"), but from a place of connection. They are totally undaunted by the fact that they can't create a standard balance sheet and don't have a clear sense of where the money they'll need is coming from. They are just going ahead with the idea that emerged.

So the rest of us hardly have an excuse for feeling daunted :-). This was a such a welcome inspiration for me to read this morning.
