More info on Feed-In Tariffs, (FIT)
I have been receiving calls from as far as Michigan requesting more information on the Feed-In Tariff program I have been working on. This program has generated much excitement in the field of renewable energy and I will continue working to bring this idea to fruition.
Some of the people I talked to have actually complimented this blog on the information pertaining to FIT. Many enjoyed viewing the 3 videos on the right and learned more about the FIT program.
The first video is a conference I attended with the World Future Council (WFC) in Washington D.C., the second video is a 40 min feed of a cell-phone conversation with Terry Tamminen, author of “Lives Per Gallon, The True Cost of Our Oil Addiction” as he discusses FIT, and the third video is about “The German Feed-In Tariff Law.” Viewing this video gives you a good idea on how this program could work in Minnesota. Take some time and review the 3 videos.
I would like to hear from you. Please

Hi David,
I am a technical manager for the europaen market leader in developing and managing designer outlet centers. For more than 27 years I am traveling to Minnesota and I call it home with many friends in Dakota County which are almost like family to me.
The German FIT can be THE model for FITs throughout the whole nation as it boosts renewable energy use in many countries.
My objective is to change from facilities management in Germany to establish my own company developing small to medium size PV projects throughout the US within the next 12 months.
I would appreciate information how far MN is with a FIT, when it goes into effect and about the terms.
It would be my pleasure to meet you on my next trip to Hastings, as I am not able to join my family in April when they will visiting our friends. I am too busy while my company is building a brand new Outlet Center in Berlin area and breaking down the old one I was managing the last 9 years.
Whishing all the best,
Thomas Mahn
