Among the projects that were initiated was the installation of a solar electric system on the MySpace/REC Solar Recharging Station, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, the Colorado Convention Center, the Pepsi Center and at the Denver International Airport.
"The focus on renewable energy during the DNC did a tremendous job in highlighting solar power and its incredible potential in weaning us off of our dependence on fossil fuels," said Angiolo Laviziano, President and CEO of REC Solar.
At the MySpace Solar Recharging Station, powered by REC Solar, people used solar powered computers to access the internet and re-charged their iPods, cell phones, laptops and other gadgets.
