Bruce Cooper and Ken Rehor from the team share about how RAT has helped dozens of artists on playa exchange their generators for renewable power. The same concepts can be used in camps, art cars and art installations.  Learn how you can transition from generator to renewable solar.  Learn how you can help RAT with this excellent project.
