Comments on: “When” is now http://www.valleyprblog.com/advice/when-is-now/ A (dry heated) group blog from Phoenix, Arizona on public relations, marketing and social media Tue, 16 Mar 2010 06:34:27 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Todd Bankofier http://www.valleyprblog.com/advice/when-is-now/comment-page-1/#comment-10504 Todd Bankofier Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:42:04 +0000 http://www.valleyprblog.com/?p=1908#comment-10504 I have to pick on the point Francine makes about "How does Germany rule the earth in solar and not Arizona?" Arizona has been talked about as a potential solar capital since 1973, and 36 years later we are finally beginning to lay a foundation for industry and entreprenuers to get excited about evolving in the Arizona market. It would be very unfortunate to throw away the competitive advantage Arizona possesses. We need to let our Corporation Commissioners and know we need leadership and vision...... and quickly.

Things will get better when we make them better. After all, we made them worse. We didn't develop downtown, we didn't diversify our industries, and we didn't support our education system. And this is nationwide. I'm in the Bay Area. Today I went to InterSolar, a global solar conference. Do you know who leads in solar energy? Freakin' Germany. How did we let THAT happen? The small community of entrepreneurs at Gangplank, where we hang out, seems to be doing just fine, btw. The entrepreneurs always do, even without money. That's because other things are important to them: innnovation, change, collaboration...etc. Good post, Linda. Todd makes a great point. Things will get better when we make them better.
