Penn State Solar Decathlon 2009, part two: Natural Fusion goes to Washington

In Motion revisits Penn State's Natural Fusion team as they complete work on their solar home and open it to the public for tours. Prior to departing for the Solar Decathlon national competition in Washington, D.C., the Natural Fusion home was presented to the University community at an open house. Focusing on natural aesthetics, functional design characteristics and innovative sustainable technology, visitors got a close-up look at the potential for cost-effective, comfortable and environmentally responsible living. Natural Fusion's special guest, noted actor and environmental activist Ed Begley Jr., was on hand to lend his support to to the Penn State design team, and came away impressed with the group's accomplishments.
