With the Grammys behind us, news comes via SFGate’s Daily Dish (following a heads-up on this blog in one of our daily solar rundowns) that Jack Johnson is recording his sixth studio album with 100 percent solar energy in his native Hawaii. Details are vague, but, man, is it a pretty catchy concept. Presumably, Johnson’s recording studio (dubbed the Mango Tree) is equipped with a grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) system. In this case, it’d be unlikely that every single electron flowing through the recording equipment would come from the solar panels. But at the end of the day, Johnson — whom Spinner dubs an “eco-warrior” — probably has better things to do than count and track electrons.
I know Pearl Jam used to purchase renewable electricity credits to supplement the power mix behind their live concerts, and in October we reported on Cake’s solar-powered Sacramento recording studio. If you know of any other musicians or performers who do similar activities, please post them here. Johnson’s album is due out in June.
















Hey All,
That is a great news and I wish all other Artists would follow his steps and go Green, its not like they can not afford it, talking about being a good example for their fans.
