Join us Wednesday October 16, 2013 in a city
near you or via telephone & webinar.
Forty years ago, the Oil Embargo demonstrated how dependent the United States is on foreign energy sources. Americans were left vulnerable and exposed to the long-term possibility of high oil prices, disrupted supply, wars driven by the need for oil, and economic recession. It is imperative that we, as a nation, learn from the past and continue to expand, diversify and invest in our energy supply portfolio.
Our program will detail the renewable energy industry advances made since 1973, and highlight how renewables are the competitive, economical and sustainable global building blocks for the 21st century.
