About Portland Maine Alternative Energy Study Group

I started this group because I wanted to educate myself about alternative energy, and I felt there were a lot of other people out there who wanted to do the same. So why not learn together? We are not a trade group, simply a group of ordinary energy consumers in the Portland, Maine area looking for more sustainable alternatives to the current energy status quo.

More description will be added here as the group develops.
