WHAT
On May 14, the Sustainable
Energy Coalition - in cooperation with Members of the U.S.
House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Renewable Energy
& Energy Efficiency Caucuses - will host the 12th
annual Congressional Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency
EXPO + Forum.
This year’s EXPO will bring
together nearly fifty businesses, sustainable energy
industry trade associations, government agencies, and
energy policy research organizations to showcase the
status and near-term potential of the cross-section of
renewable energy (biofuels/biomass, geothermal, solar,
water, wind) and energy efficiency technologies. A
morning news conference will feature Members of the U.S.
Congress while afternoon speakers will discuss the role
sustainable energy technologies can play in meeting
America’s energy needs.
As Congress, the
Administration, the business community, environmental
advocates, and American voters search for options to
address ways to stimulate the economy, “green jobs,”
higher energy costs, increased reliance on energy imports,
and the potential threat posed by rising levels of
greenhouse gas emissions, the EXPO will help address the
role that sustainable energy technologies might play.
This will include not only the technical aspects of
renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies but
also related issues such as economics, jobs potential,
environmental benefits, current and near-term market
potential, model programs in the public and private
sectors, and institutional, financial and legal barriers.
The EXPO is free, open to
the public, and no RSVPs are required.
