Renewable Energy Forums
I found several energy forums, classes, or symposiums that anyone interested can register or sign up for attendance or participation in. For instance, Michael Harvey has taken a simplified approach to green energy for the average American who wants to do their part. His plan is budget conscious and emphasizes solar or wind power generation. He has created a video/book that can teach anyone how to build their own wind or solar power generation system for less than $200. His DIY, do it yourself, workshop can be found at www.earth4energy.com.
The American Wind Energy Association, AWEA, is holding a meeting in Chicago, IL from May 4-7, 2009. People who wish to participate in this conference should log on to their web site at www.awea.org. The AWEA are energized about the provisions outlined in the new stimulus bill that can help this industry grow and expand. This meeting will highlight many organizations that are gearing up for this movement into green alternatives and showcase their specific plans. It may instill some ideas for those who are on the fence. There are links on their web site for anyone interested in gaining employment in this industry.
Pulitzer Prize winning author/columnist, Thomas Friedman, is a co-host, along with many other very qualified and credible persons, for a lean, clean, and green energy symposium at the New York Hilton from April 13-16, 2009. This conference hopes to address the technological aspects of our quest to develop and manufacture wind and solar power. For more information about their meeting please log on to http://uptimeinstitute.org. Mr. Friedman is author of "Hot, Flat, and Crowded; why we need a green revolution---and how it can renew America."
Do not miss out on how you can do your part to help America move into a clean and green energy grid that is sustainable and renewable. America cannot afford to continue our dependence on foreign oil or to pursue coal as a viable alternative. Coal is not clean nor safe to mine. There are better ways to repower America and the world. We need to work hard to invent and invest in new technologies that can move us back into a manufacturing/export mode and away from being a consumer society that does not produce anything meaningful here at home. Not only will this increase our productivity, efficiency, longevity and national security, but it will also go a long way toward repair/equalization of our trade/national deficits and job creation. So what are you waiting for? Jump in now!
