At the Energy Central Community Team, we're always keeping an eye on the calendar for days of recognition, celebration, and note that are relevant to our members. Since 2006, July 10th has been known as Global Energy Independence Day, which is recognized as follows:
In 2006, Michael D. Antonovich proclaimed July 10th as Global Energy Independence Day. At the time, Antonovich served as a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The date of July 10th coincides with the birthday of Nikola Tesla, who was born in 1856. Tesla is a Serbian-American inventor born in Croatia. Tesla made many breakthroughs in the area of electric power. His inventions helped pave the way to discover other forms of energy.
To honor this day, I wanted to pull out some key articles from Energy Central Community Members that cover the spirit of energy innovation, invention, and conservation. Check these out below, and then share your additional links/thoughts/ideas to keep the conversation going in the comments below:
