Short Description
Aur 'da energy mon' Beck started educating himself about renewable energy (RE) as a teenager even before (at age 15) he moved into a camper in his parents driveway to live off grid solar and ended up living off grid for 18 years.
His name Aur (pronounced "or") means light or to enlighten in Hebrew.
Reading profusely and consistently tinkering with Renewable Energy (RE) has been a continuous constant throughout his life. Never officially attending school left him time to do in depth study, intern, view, and install renewable energy projects. Of course, working in one of the first United States passive solar schools helped.
Aur is an avid reader of technical journals as he has consistently kept up his correspondence with other experts in his field. This keeps him always up to date and knowledgeable.
Founder and on the board for the Illinois Renewable Energy Association (www.illinoisrenew.org ) he is actually proudest for having started Oil Addicts Anonymous International (www.IamanOilAddict.org ). Aur J Beck is also a long time host (since 1999) of a weekly radio talk show called Your Community Spirit (www.YourCommunitySpirit.org) dealing with environmental/social issues which airs every Friday morning on WDBX 91.1 Carbondale or online at www.wdbx.org .
Living in southern IL, in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest, Aur understands that living how he does makes it very easy to advocate for a life of simpler living, energy efficiency and renewable energy
