Tipping Point Interview Bob Connors April 8, 2010
We spoke at the Race for American Jobs event last week. Selected video of the event has been posted here.
This is a good post on why distributed energy should be the wave of the future. I like the graphic they have there also.
The picture is of Charles and Gerry Fry. Fry Farms is a customer of ours that we are waiting for USDA grant funds to finalize their installation of a solar heating system for their machine shop.
Charles is an old friend from a previous startup company. The have a good article about their new company and growing of edamame here.
We were invited to a private meeting yesterday at the White House for clean energy leaders. The discussion was led by Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu. He is a great speaker and a greater leader for our energy sector. The discussions were really around what the administration is doing and can do better to help lead the energy transformation we are going through.
Secretary Chu's message is very similar to the one we've been stressing. We cannot afford to be passive in this arena. Energy is the worlds largest industry and it will be transforming over the next decades. If we want to remain a world leader we must grab this opportunity now. We need clear market signals to move this forward.
After that we visited with Senator Sherrod Brown's office and shared some of our perspectives with them as well as delivering an Op-Ed we recently wrote.
After that we had some time with Senator Voinovich's office as well as the Chief of Staff for Mary Jo Kilroy.
I think it is important that people other than lobbyists visit them in person. We know the fossil fuel lobby groups are outspending the clean energy groups by at least 15 to 1. Hopefully real constituents and businessmen in their offices carries some weight.
It's been a busy few days for us.
