National Solar Conference 2007 - in CLEVELAND, OHIO

"Sustainable energy puts America to work"

National Solar Conference 2007
July 7th - 13th, 2007
Cleveland Ohio

Right after hearing about a Plain Dealer article claiming that Green Building Fails to Thrive which, among other things, used tired, lazy excuses such as "The disappointing thing is we were all hoping consumers would embrace it and at least be willing to pay a substantial part of the premium," he [a lazy developer] said. "I can't say we were overwhelmed by the results financially." While I COULD point out the many fallacies of those remarks and even go off on a tirade about how developer driven building projects are constantly ruining what "design" is about I would rather point out that SOME industries and cities are EMBRACING green building.

Including Cleveland. Come and join us as we learn all we can about practical solar design applications and how we can harness it to grow economies. I promise, it won't be a quarter as boring as I just made it sound.

Ripped from the headlines:

I promise more announcements about this as more info. comes up. Seriously, having a national renewable energy conference here in Cleveland could be HUGE for the city.
