Just received our latest issue of the EMA Spring 2010 Newsletter, and were pleased to see our Hybrid Solar Base Camp mentioned as providing clean power for a Warner Bros. production. EMA – The Environmental Media Association – mobilizes the entertainment industry in educating people about environmental issues, which in turn, inspires them to take action.

Pure Power readers will recall that we provided a Hybrid Mobile Solar Power System(TM) to the production of “Valentine’s Day” (Garry Marshall directed, with Julia Roberts, Jamie Foxx, Ashton Kutcher, Shirley MacLaine among the host of mega-stars) . The Hybrid Base Camp consisted of Solar Generators – Hybrid S10 Mobile Solar Power Systems(TM) working alongside Solar Star Waggons(TM) – all working together to avoid a ton of carbon dioxide per day, as well as daily doses of the 40 other carcinogens found in diesel exhaust.

Right now, Pure Power is back at the movies, providing Warner Bros. with the world’s largest Mobile Solar Power System – our 600 Amp/72,000 watt S48 unit is currently powering the base camp of Steve Carell’s current feature production. Everyone working on the production likes that solar systems are silent, and produce no exhaust or smell. Just good clean power!

Valentine’s Day debuts

When we provided mobile solar power for the base camp of Warner Bros. production of “Valentine’s Day” last summer, we were pleased to have accomplished the landmark of powering an entire base camp of a major motion picture. We believe we are the first to have provided that level of mobile solar power to a Hollywood production, and that Warner Bros. is doing important work in this area of sustainable production.

Our readers should check out the article in today’s Los Angeles Times, an article describing Warner Bros. efforts toward sustainable production outlines their multi-faceted approach, led by Jonny Romano.

“Valentine’s Day” – green film for the pink day

New Line Cinema is set to release “Valentine’s Day”, the new comedy feature directed by legend Garry Marshall on February 12th, just in time for … well, Valentine’s Day.

In checking out the trailer, one might ask if there are ANY gorgeous stars in Hollywood that are NOT in this picture. But attention all greens: between the laughs, remember that that the production was the first in the world to use a Mobile Solar Base Camp Power System throughout production in Los Angeles, that included our Hybrid Super 10 systems working in tandem with Solar Star Waggons!

“…and there were days it would be completely silent ’cause we were running completely on solar power”

In a new article on ABC Technology and Science News, Pure Power’s Mobile Solar Power Systems are brought to the fore – check out this story that describes how

“Movie Studios Try to Reduce Carbon Footprint by Using Green Technology”

“The upcoming star-studded film “Valentine’s Day” was arguably the greenest production yet. The “base camp,” where trailers for wardrobe, makeup and the cast usually sit idling on generator power all day, was instead run on hybrid energy. The films executive producer, Diana Pokorny, could hear the difference. “Normally you’d walk onto a base camp, and there would be the hum of generators,” she said, “and there were days it would be completely silent ’cause we were running completely on solar power.” This saved the production 18 metric tons of CO2.

Here’s a photo of one day’s base camp, with our Solar Hybrid Base Camp Power System configured to include a solar Star Waggons (foreground, with rooftop photovoltaic panels) and 3 Hybrid S10 Mobile Solar Power Systems.
