ACORE Media and Policy Briefings May 1 on Potential for Renewable Energy
ACORE Media and Policy Briefings May 1 on Potential for Renewable Energy If there is any doubt in your mind whether renewable energy sources can meet the demand for new electric generating capacity over the next two decades and President Bush's goal of 35 billion gallons a year of biodiesel and ethanol-blended fuels by 2017, please join us either at the media briefing via telephone or in-person policy briefing - both next Tuesday, May 1 - on the 2007 Joint Outlook for Renewable Energy from the American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE). A copy of the 2007 Joint Outlook is free to journalists who register for either briefing. FPL to Issue RFP on Renewable Energy Sources Energy, Ethics and Feed-in Tariffs After more than a year of researching and writing on feed-in tariffs (FITs), I'm still amazed at how many people haven't heard of them -- especially people who by right should be shouting the subject from the rooftops. I refer in general to environmental campaigners, but also to the "can-do" types who see in renewable energy a personal economic opportunity and/or a chance to relieve the pressure on the climate system.
