a 13-episode video series of interviews
with some of New Mexico’s most fascinating Renewable Energy
Pioneers, Architects, Inventors, Designers, Entrepreneurs & Educators
A Little Background:
    In the spring of 2012, the NMSEA Board of Directors voted to launch an ambitious video-base educational outreach project. The Board was encouraged by the facts that:
-
NMSEA had never taken on a project like this.
-
No one on the Board, with the exception of Janet Bridgers, had ANY video production background.
-
NMSEA had no grant funding or financial support for this project.
    On the other hand (and by-the-way):
-
NMSEA has a wealth of alternative energy experts, gurus and Solar Pioneers.
-
Janet Bridgers was working with a veteran video producer – Toby Younis (www.videoterro.com)
-
Toby was quite interested in the project, and he made us a “deal” that we just couldn’t refuse.
    So with great encouragement and patience from Toby (someone with almost as much experience in video as NMSEA has in solar), we began our journey.
