Feasibility of producing a Green Music Festival

Recently I have been chatting with individuals in the show production industry specifically the lighting industry. The reasoning behind engaging in these conversations with these individuals was to realistically get an idea about how feasible it is to run a music festival on 100 percent sustainable resources such as solar power. The answers I received were both interesting and thought provoking. One individual I spoke with was a coworker of mine, He has been in the show production industry for 30 plus years, he is a master electrician and has massive knowledge about how things work and technology in general. He explained to me that it is not quite feasible to run an entire show off of solar power yet, yes yet being the key word their it is only a matter of time and we are getting really close, but not to be discouraged! I was informed that it is extremely feasible that you could power an entire music festival on hydro electricity. Yes! This thought had not yet occurred to me. So the now the brain storm and research begins, engineering a portable system that can be set up near a water source and begin producing power. This truly is an exciting new twist in the adventure to become ever so green, and what also when through my head was if we could really use hydro electricity it would be great to try to get sponsored by some automobile companies that are in the process of introducing the hydro electric car! giving them the opportunity to have a demonstration perhaps at the music festival.

Keep on Rockin in the free world!
