By News Desk

(via Climate Central .) I’m not sure yet what I think of Mark Kleiman’s post about how people always accept their side’s arguments on a position and assume a contrary argument means the arguer is on the other team.  I’m no fan of centrism-worship, or of contrarianism-for-its-own-sake.

Crowded crowd-funding for solar projects

By News Desk

Crowded crowd-funding for solar projects On Monday, Mosaic announced it would do the first-ever crowd-funding of solar projects , with a $25 minimum investment.  Yesterday I tried to buy in myself but their four new projects are fully funded .  They look like they might be having the same problem that Kiva used to have – more money than projects (it also seems like a different model than Kiva, the money goes directly to the projects rather than paying for a general fund)
