But when I met Max Aram, co-founder of Pick My Solar (PMS), I started to perk up. The company (with the somewhat problematic acronym) is perfect for people like me.

So I figured, why not mash people up and get everyone talking to each other. Because, as we all know, it takes a (blogger) village.

My blog follower (let’s call him George) gave me two new good ideas; switch my home to 100% renewables and turn in my Prius for an electric car.

I decided to start with renewable energy, do a little research, make some decisions, and voila, I’d be green. It couldn’t be that complicated, right?

Last week I received this email from a blog follower. It gave me pause.
