We talked of many things that night, look out on the roofs of our community; new nannotechnology solar, an uber dark matter motor designed to run on magnet power.  (Some of the most interesting conversations we've had, it seems, have usually been in Hawaiian typhoons, the stark wilderness, or during power outages!)  But we kept coming back to one central theme: why were our state/local electrical utility energy resources running out, when renewable energy (in the form of wind, sun, water and geothermal) was so plentiful.  We kept coming back to this question:  why weren't local utility companies in California more prepared with alternative energy backup... why couldn't they made more backup electricity available?  The lives of people in  hospitals and those who depended on life support systems would not have been disrupted (not to mention discomfort for the rest of us).  Was there some kind of conspiracy by oil companies to keep solar and wind suppressed?  Renewable energy like solar and wind has less destructive effect on our fragile environment.  (As compared to electricity produced via gas/petroleum-driven turbines, or messy coal.)  And why isn't the federal government being more proactive to legislating/enforcing laws that will take more care of our fragile environment?

    This is when we first realized that we wanted to be part of the solution to the profound environment problems facing our community the earth. Segue to Solar believes that consumers have the power  to be part of the solution to the energy problem (click here for Why Use Solar Energy).  Shouldn't an increase in renewable energy research and use be a priority?

    Finally, we get a lot of questions about "why did we pick 'segue to solar' for our business name?" 

Well, seeing that "segue" means to transition, or change smoothly, we feel that if consumers can get behind the concept of transitioning to using more solar and renewable energy products -- not only will the earth be healthier for it, but hopefully industrialized nations -- will have more peaceful options for accessing fuels and other precious resources.  As Howard Dean used to say, "Be part of the solution."
