		New Release! “Full Cost Accounting” (4 min)
		 
		
		
		http://madeinalberta.ca/full-cost-accounting-flash.shtml 
		We 
		continue our interview with Gordon Howell about comparing prices and 
		watching trends between solar and Alberta’s conventional mix of (mostly 
		coal) electricity. With environmental and health costs piling up, coal 
		looks like less and less of a bargain. On “In the Green” we meet a 
		cycle-powered inventor with a social message. 
		 
		Playing on 
		Shaw TV – Saturday and Sunday! “Passive Solar” (4 min.) 
		
		The Atchisons of Edmonton built a house that has used half the energy of 
		a typical Edmonton house over the last 25 years. Their bright and cozy 
		home employs energy efficiency and passive solar energy for heat and 
		comfort all year round.  To watch on-line, click here:

		Field Notes - “Envisioning a Solar Alberta” 
		
		If you ever wanted to help out the Alberta Solar Energy Society (...as 
		we may be called after tonight. A name change is on the agenda...) but 
		didn’t feel you had the right technical expertise, tonight is your night 
		to shine. Recognizing the fast-changing external environment in 2010, 
		tonight’s meeting is all about future direction, positioning, promotion 
		and sponsorship. You can purchase a $25.00 membership on-site or just 
		sit in and find out what’s up with your local solar society – the oldest 
		and most active in Canada. 
		 
		 
		
		Coming Up Next Week 
		A 
		return to more or less normal scheduling for the rest of the season (I 
		hope :)
