Tune in to Golden Real Estate’s Show on KHOW Starting Saturday

As an extension of Jim Smith's YourHub real estate column, Golden Real Estate is launching its own weekly radio program every Saturday at 3 p.m. on KHOW (AM 630), starting July 15th. It was supposed to start last Saturday, July 8th, but a programming glitch caused the one-week delay. 

Jim Smith will be the host of this program, which will typically consist of two or three segments, at least one of which will be an extension of that Thursday’s column topics. Typically, he’ll be joined by one or more of our broker associates plus relevant guests. This week’s guests are Denis Hayes, the co-founder of Earth Day, Bill Lucas-Brown of GB3 Energy, and Andrew Sams of Alpine Building Performance LLC speaking about how to make your home more energy efficient. It will be a live program, and we’ll take phone calls from listeners. Information and links for speakers and topics is at http://Radio.GoldenRealEstate.com.

NREL Celebrates 40 Years of Making a Difference

The National Renewal Energy Laboratory (NREL), originally known as the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI), was created during the Carter administration 40 years ago. Its location close to the City of Golden has allowed Jefferson County to become a national center of innovation and business creation in the area of renewable energy.

The Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES) is marking this milestone on July 12th at the Jefferson Unitarian Church with a presentation by Denis Hayes, SERI’s second director and a co-founder of Earth Day.

His talk is titled, “How NREL Won the Long Game for Clean Power.” You can reserve your free seat at NREL40.eventbrite.com. Your reservation is not required but helps to plan for food, and any donations are appreciated.

 

Hayes and other remarkable scientists and engineers will share what motivated their research in solar power and other fossil fuel alternatives when oil was king, and how they weathered hostility from earlier administrations. The future of NREL in the Trump administration will no doubt be discussed. Stay for a networking reception with food and drinks after the presentation. The event is co-sponsored by the Colorado Renewable Energy Society, the JUC Green Task Force and New Energy Colorado/Golden Earth Days. 

 

Jefferson Unitarian Church is at 14350 W. 32nd Ave., west of the 32nd & Youngfield exit of I-70. The event begins at 7 pm.
