Hi Folks,<\/p>\n
The next meeting of the Ely Climate Group will be on Tuesday January 14th<\/sup> at 4pm at the Ely Field Naturalists Resource Center above the NAPA store. \u00a0As usual this meeting will be in person and by zoom.<\/p>\n Watch this meeting at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dJGgaehfohU&t=1059s or search for “Ely Climate Group” on youtube.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the second of two meetings on solar energy. Last month we listened to Rickey Sipila who runs \u201cSisu Solar\u201d a local solar energy installer. This month we will have a discussion led by Hudson Kingston who has had solar on his home for some years and has recently installed more panels. The second installment of this series will cover costs and savings, timescales, estimates, batteries or grid connected, how the grid functions with increasing solar installations, and much more! \u00a0Here is the January zoom link:<\/p>\n Topic: Ely Climate Group<\/em> \u00a0<\/em>If you missed the December meeting all is not lost. It is full of useful info and stories of many different installations. You can find it here (youtube) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bNbtCvgHoC8&t=961s<\/a> or search Youtube for \u201cEly Climate Group\u201d for many of our recent meetings.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em>Here are some useful resources from the CERTs (Clean Energy Resource Teams) website: https:\/\/www.cleanenergyresourceteams.org\/simple-steps-solar<\/a> . \u00a0You can find another comprehensive CERTs video \u201cHow to Speak Solar\u201d here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Llw_SyCti9A&t=827s<\/a><\/p>\n On another topic, we are pleased to say that the City of Ely has decided to form a \u201cGreen Team\u201d to assist in their work to reach level 3 (and above) in Minnesota\u2019s GreenStep program. The City is asking for applications for 4 open positions from interested individuals. The due date is January 14th<\/sup> \u2013 DO IT NOW!

I\u2019m sad to report that Ted died on December 24th<\/sup> of pneumonia. Ted started the group with a signup sheet at one of the early Tuesday Group meetings. He pushed the discussion towards social and economic issues and frequently held our attention with excerpts from the environmental literature. Many of us benefitted from that background. He continued to follow the group\u2019s meetings after moving from Ely. Thank you for getting the group organized Ted, we will miss you. Best wishes to Barb and family.<\/p>\n Hoping to see you all on Tuesday January 14th<\/sup><\/p>\n Barb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi Folks,<\/p>\n The next meeting of the Ely Climate Group will be on Tuesday January 14th at 4pm at the Ely Field Naturalists Resource Center above the NAPA store.
