Nanosolar
said Wednesday it has created the industry’s largest solar production
tool: a thin-film coater that has the capacity to produce up to 1
gigawatt of solar cells annually.
That compares with 10 to 30 megawatts of annual
production capacity for most solar production tools, CEO Martin
Roscheisen wrote on the company’s blog.
The tool, which uses the Nanosolar’s nanoparticle ink,
costs $1.65 million and – at the speed at which it’s currently running,
100 feet per minute -- produces cells for a hundred times less than a
high-vacuum process, he wrote.
Roscheisen, who also included a video
of the tool in his post, said the company expects the tool to have the
potential to reach speeds of up to 2,000 feet per minute.
He added that the tool delivers cells that can convert sunlight into electricity with up to 14.5 percent efficiency, but declined to answer a question about the average efficiency of the cells that are being produced.

Our best days as a country have been when our leaders took bold steps and challenged the status quo. It is how we have always overcome our biggest problems. Too often we have responded to the problems of everyday Americans with timidity and political expediency.
Too often we have let the forces of the status quo overcome the calls for action. Michael is running for Congress because he believes we can solve our biggest problems. He is an avid stand for peace, opportunity and community.
I first took on updating this site then I rebuilt tthe entire site to suit the campaign needs. This is a wordpress template that is modified with a xml slideshow, php image rotator for supporter spotlight, dhtml wc3 optimized, and son of suckerfish dropdown menus. I also modified an open source newletter mangager (phplist)for their mailing list of 20,000 people. The site has had millions of hits and I am proud of the work I did for the campaign. Today is the primary I am confident he will win and that this will be a huge victory for the people of Maine and the United States at large.

Local Sprouts is a culinary and cultural organization that focuses on
cooking local food to connect people to share food, mutual support,
knowledge and develop local self-reliance.
There are three main branches:
Local Sprouts Community Supported Kitchen, Cooperative Catering and
Community Learning and Food. I hand drew this logo then scanned it. I used inkscape and gimp to edit the image.

This website is hosted on a server I administrate. I worked with Matt Franklin and Jordan Ruff on this design. ASERELA was founded in 1994, in Maine, to organize and build
self-reliance among Sudanese refugees.
It gained association status and
was incorporated in 1997 and received 501c(3) status in 2001. Through a
strong volunteer base and limited staff support, ASERELA has diligently
worked to build philanthropic support among refugees that have settled
in Maine as well as American-born friends with the purpose of assisting
refugees in Kiryadongo, Uganda.
The server this site is hosted on is supported by the FOGLIGHTCOLLECTIVE whose mission is to unite a multicultural community by sharing knowledge, developing leadership and encouraging creativity.
