Praise for The Solar Patriot

Erik Curren is onto the technology that may well win the future. And he is right that it is a patriotic quest. Winning clean energy independence would serve America very well indeed.

Bob Inglis
Former Congressman from South Carolina
Founder, RepublicEn

If monopolistic utility lobbies are preventing the transition to clean energy in your state, this book is an excellent and practical guide for citizen advocacy and empowerment.

Marshall Saunders
Founder and President, Citizens’ Climate Lobby

Erik Curren has produced a solar-revolution manual that should inform, inspire, and energize anyone who believes in our inalienable right to a clean energy future.

Michael Brune
Executive Director, Sierra Club

The ability to use solar power at home helps keep your family more secure while helping America achieve a greater degree of energy independence. So, it’s no wonder that support for solar and other clean energy is growing on the conservative side of the political spectrum. For conservatives and others who want to help their neighbors join America’s clean energy revolution, The Solar Patriot is an indispensable source of good information and inspiration.

Mark Fleming
President & CEO, Conservatives for Clean Energy

Democracy, patriotism, and rooftop solar go hand in hand and Erik Curren makes the case with simple, easy-to-understand stories from the front line of the modern-day battle for energy independence. Curren highlights parallels between today’s fights and some of the most iconic stories from American history. This book is a great introduction to one of the most important issues of our time.

Anya Schoolman
Executive Director, Solar United Neighbors

I loved this book. Curren is a fabulous writer and has a great story to tell. The solar revolution in this country is exciting, patriotic, and as vital to our future as the 1776 Revolution was to our past. This is that rare must-read book for everyone, from liberal environmentalists to Tea Party conservatives.

Mike Tidwell
Executive Director, Chesapeake Climate Action Network
