Pure Power has been listed on the new Green Business Map developed by the Environmental Defense Fund as a way of identifying green economy clusters. Mobile solar generators will get you on that map, so step right u[ 
Not surprisingly, Santa Monica and Los Angeles have a lot of big brains working on sustainable business solutions, as do San Francisco and – with reportedly over 800 green companies – San Diego.
Pure Power has just completed the season powering the on-location base camps for The Mentalist (Warner Bros., broadcast on CBS) – our “S48″ base camp power system was used to power the show’s base camp whenever it went out on location.
The 48 did great work this season, providing all base camp power for up to 10 hours on this big show. The 48 has also provide base camp power on Inception and the upcoming Steve Carell comedy release Crazy, Stupid, Love
We could tell you, or you could read the quote from the show’s transportation coordinator:
“The production of The Mentalist works hard to be energy efficient and sustainable in creating our show. During the 2010-2011 season, to save fuel and reduce our carbon footprint, we powered our base camp with the world’s largest Mobile Solar Power System whenever we were out on location. It has been exciting for the entire cast and crew to be leaders in this effort and to do our part for the environment.”
- Mike Padovich, Transportation Coordinator, The Mentalist
Stay tuned for more feedback from the Mentalist and some cool events we’ve done this Spring.
Mar 11, 2011 – A bright red streetcar wends its way through downtown San Diego, and that’s not the only sign of environmental efficiency in this California city of just over 1 million. At a March 9th Executive Roundtable Discussion at the San Diego Daily Transcript, leaders at all levels of municipal, tribal, defense organizations and private companies discussed their intense focus on keeping the environment in the forefront all of decisions. What they’re finding is that these “green” decisions always yield financial, organizational and community results.
For Christopher Smith, of Pure Power Distribution (www.PurePowerD.com), the “Triple Bottom Line” is a foundation of the company, so these results are quite obvious.

The folks at SolarFeeds are quickly building one of the biggest and best news resources in the solar industry. So it’s a VERY GOOD THING when a story about Pure Power shows up there – in this case, our blog post “Mobile Solar is Sexy”.
The story was about Pure Power being named a finalist by Opportunity Green for its Green Business Startup
Competition. (Don’t think we won the competition, but it was tremendous to be recognized by Opportunity Green!)
Pure Power is in the blogosphere again – this time on Tainted Green. The article is about the greening of the entertainment industry, from the Emmy Awards, to Conan O’Brien’s show to using solar generators on the film Inception starring Leo DiCaprio. Now, we know a little about Inception, having provided mobile solar power to the production’s base camp when it was shooting in LA.
DiCaprio mentioned using solar power on Inception in an article in the Philippine Times, which was captured by Ecorazzi, Huffington Post, the Sierra Club and Forbes.
What’s really amazing about the coverage is that, on DiCaprio’s Facebook Page, 
over 1,700 people read his piece and ‘liked’ it, and over 300 people commented. Heads up, entertainment industry – this is direct response to your positive actions!

Karl Burkart posted a great story about Inception (the epic thriller by Christopher Nolan starring Leo DiCaprio) and Inception the mobile solar power story.
Says Burkart: “The mind-blowing dream sequences of “Inception” probably left you wondering how in the world the film’s producers pulled it off. But the question of how they powered such feats of cinematic megawattage may not have come to mind. The answer will surprise you … the sun!”

From the website Zap2It: Leonardo DiCaprio posted a link on his Facebook page to an Ecorazzie item about the solar panels used on his new hit film, “Inception.”
So in essence the environmental activist actor has used the film’s thesis — that an idea is the most virulent and powerful tool — to plant the idea about the future of green movie-making.”
