Solar Heated Greenhouse Talk
Jim Money will be giving a presentation at the Alamogordo Public Library this Thursday, January 21, 2010, from 6pm-7:45pm about his solar heated greenhouses. Jim is also a great source for local-grown produce, which he delivers in the Alamogordo area each Wednesday.
The first project of Cloudcroft Green started with an A+ for Energy grant from British Petroleum. This grant allows the school to purchase a greenhouse, along with solar electric and solar thermal panels to heat and power the experiments within the greenhouse. The plan is to use this system as a teaching tool for not only alternative energy, but biology, botany and agriculture.
