Solar Energy Application in the Tropics Book

This was a good book. I enjoyed reading it, as the issue was close to home: literally, coming from the area and because my organization was one of the ones intimately involved with the project.

Only a couple of complaints about the book. The author was a bit verbose and a little corny when describing new characters in the book. As in she described their looks, what they were wearing, etc. When reading her little bio in the back, I noticed she left out what SHE looked like. Also, no matter whose side you are on, pro-Cape Wind or pro-Alliance, the Alliance group was fairly ridiculous in their tactics and blatantly were not playing fair. Those actions spoke for themselves and there wasn't the need to underline those issues any louder than necessary. It was like watching some poor person get beat up and then have somebody tell you how awful it was--we know, we watched it. Lastly, due to Ted Kennedy's death, the Cape Wind situation has changed quite a bit. I'd like an addendum added on.

Overall, interesting, a fun read, and educational in some ways. Think of me when you get to the section on the Conservation Law Foundation. We really backed that project and I was on the one who made all the powerpoint presentations that the president gave in support of the project! Of course, I wasn't mentioned, but I'm still part of the story to some tiny degree.
