Historical Note

Roger Neville Williams was an American journalist and writer. In early 1968 Williams worked as a free lance journalist in Vietnam for several months. In the spring of 1968 Williams refused to be drafted into the US military, and consequently left America. While living in exile, Williams worked with various Vietnam War resistance organizations, and published a book on the American draft resisters in Canada. After returning to America, Williams continued his work as a journalist, concentrating his research efforts in solar energy and renewable resources. In 1995 Williams co-founded SELCO (Solar Electric Light Co.) and Standard Solar Inc. in 2005.
