Abstract:
Raleigh resident Mike Nicklas is a solar architect, educator, and activist devoted to increasing the use of solar and clean renewable energy. His company, Innovative Design, focuses on increasing energy efficiency in schools and public buildings through the use of solar. Nicklas’ solar project at Four Oaks Elementary in Johnston County has greatly reduced the cost of energy at a time when school budgets are shrinking. Nicklas is slated to speak to the United Nations about solar power and its positive effects on the environment, public health, and to stop global warming.
