On a rainy day, what better to think about than the sun?

So today’s topic is solar power. What will it take to make it a reality? Addressing the costs is a start.

On Thursday, Sept. 10, at 6 p.m. at the Swiss embassy, you can hear Swiss and American solar power experts speak on Making Solar Energy Competitive, and share how new technologies and manufacturing methods can trigger rapid growth of solar.

After the talk, you’ll be invited to a reception at the Ambassador’s residence, a “green” building that has won awards for its environmental design. Bring on the sun!
