Solar Spring Break

GRID Alternatives featured my article on Arizona State's spring break installing solar panels on low-income houses in California this March.


GRID Alternatives is an organisation that makes renewable energy technology and training accessible to underserved communities in the U.S. More power to you and your wonderful work, GRID, and to the way you have shown to the world!

Here Comes The Sun

Earlier this year, I wrote about how solar energy is the next "small, big thing", and how it has the potential to power developing countries out of poverty.

I'm glad to say the essay was adjudged among the top contributions to the 45th St. Gallen Symposium, an annual event in Switzerland that brings together Leaders of Today - policymakers and politicians, and students - Leaders of Tomorrow, for Chatham House-style debates and discussions on international development issues. What better way to end the semester and school year!

Totally looking forward to this new phase of life and the foray into problem-solving and policymaking, and of course, the beautiful land of FedEx, Rolex, chocolates and cheese!
