RE: A Devotion to New Ideas

This is my first introduction to Bill Gross and my immediate response is "excitement". I am near the same frequency as far as mental interest and can't wait to further explore his perception on solar energy and the technologies for a sustainable future, and maybe some other very interesting thoughts and ideas that we might both share. I have often considered photo voltaic research and experimentation and have even thought of manufacturing and installing solar panels with a small start-up company. I know the government is looking for companies in this area and is offering low interest loans and even some grants. I think that dedicated people are needed to secure a strong economy, and you must have a powerful ideal to be very dedicated. I appreciate the article and I'm looking forward for more of this caliber.
