I have caught a couple of commercials, and, although I couldnt tell specifically what they were using it for, they appeared to have either a diesel or oil burner going. I did not even think of the "green" concept being pushed...thats a good call. Although, if it came down to being green, or being alive, well, I am sure we all would choose the same.
I dont think that finding solar panels in the LA area would be all that hard though, depending on how far out you would look. It looks interesting, to say the least...I, for one, will be tuning into it.
