Berea Solar Tour on October 3rd

The 4th Annual Berea Solar Tour will be held Saturday October 3 in conjunction with the National Solar Tour. Thirteen Berea homes and other buildings that use solar energy will be open for public viewing and conversation with the owners. A guided bus tour of some of the sites, a car caravan to a Garrard County off-the-grid home, and three public presentations on home solar energy use and energy conservation round out the day.

The Madison County Chapter of KFTC will be hosting a workshop as part of the event called "Clean Energy, Green Jobs."  The workshop will focus on KFTC's campaign to stop a coal-burning power plant and describe how an equivalent investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy could generate more jobs and great economic development to meet the area's energy needs.  The workshop will be from 4 to 5 p.m. at 302 Center Street.  Please join us if you can!

The Solar Tour provides an opportunity to learn from homeowners who are already using solar, and to consider whether some type of solar energy makes sense for your house.
