NDFA Forum: Solar and Wind--How Can We Flip the Switch?

Politicians campaign on it, the technology already exists, and it's abundant and free; it's nature's solution to global warming and rising oil prices. So why haven't we made the switch to solar and wind power and what can WE do to make that happen?

- Tuesday, July 29, 7 pm
- at Edgewater Library
- 1210 W Elmdale Ave, Chicago
(1 block north of Broadway and Thorndale)
- Free and open to the public!
