Field of mirrors, harvesting the power of the sun by Shuli Hallak

A new project from a summer 2007 Hot Shot that is sure to inspire minds is Shuli Hallak's new ongoing series Green Energy. Starting in Kentucky Coal mine examining energy use and necessities, Shuli recently spent time in the Southern Californian desert photographing a Solar Energy testing site. Sites like the one photographed can generate enough energy to light 300,000 homes! The future certainly looks very bright. From here Shuli will be examining various sources of energy while documenting her quest.

Says Shuli of the project: "We are at the beginnings of a new era, out of necessity. The geopolitical, cultural, and financial climate of our time is revolutionizing the way we think about and use energy. In much the same way that the PC revolutionized information, this new era will change the way we make and consume energy: from a centralized to a decentralized, vast network of systems. We are on the cusp of greatness, and I'm excited to bear witness to it."

First Step: become a Hot Shot. Next Step: Change the World!
