Aug. 23, 2006: National Renewable Energy Conference Opens Registration
WASHINGTON - Registration is now open for Advancing Renewable Energy: An American Rural Renaissance, a national renewable energy conference that will be hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Oct. 10-12, 2006, at America's Center in St. Louis. The conference will focus on achieving goals outlined in President Bush's Advanced Energy Initiative (AEI), which seeks to change the way we power vehicles, homes, and businesses through the use of alternative energy sources.
"We must work together to keep America competitive by expanding sustainable, market-driven, domestic energy sources," USDA Secretary Mike Johanns said. "The October conference will build upon the President's vision for overcoming our energy challenges and will create new opportunities in rural communities."
