You're right about the "Tea Party" being a truly grass-roots movement. I hope it doesn't get organized, and then ruined. The one at the Ford dealer was originally supposed to be in a town public park in Oneonta. But, the City government prevented it from happening, so it got moved almost out of the town. I used to know the guy that donated that park. He's probably rolling in his grave over what the Oneonta did to try to stop the event.
As to green energy, I wouldn't call the organized events I've seen as "grass roots." But, I did not attend the Expo you mentioned, so cannot fairly comment. The true "grass roots" people I've met are the ones that did research on their own, and installed on their own - often in spite of NY government "help" that makes things more expensive and more difficult.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
