It's spiriting how alternative energy technologies are jumping ever more sustainably into the fray. In touch economic times, it often takes a revolution or revolutionary systems based on creative new ideas to take evolutionary technology--take the age-old solar or wind power platforms for instance--into prime time.

One paradigm-shifting system known as CityFIRST launched first in Berkeley, CA resourcefully has deployed centers around that of financing this still "expensive technology." Renewable Funding has been doing more than its share to shake up markets--or actually at the same time inspire crystal-like clarity into letting people "have their cake and eat it too" when it comes to paying for that nice system on their roof-tops. Why? It takes away much of the confusion of paying for an uncertain benefit, that of payback from some "unknown quantity." That unknown has been known to take some "12 years to pay for itself." No longer requiring municipal financing, they can now actually by-pass the traditional means of doing so with alternative, more proactive financing models.
From Berkeley to the East Coast, it seems to be really taking off.
