3RD ANNUAL RENEWABLE ENERGY FINANCE & INVESTMENT SUMMIT
Exploring Key Deals & Developments in the Renewable Fuel & Renewable Power Markets

The November/December 2007 issue of Rural Cooperatives, a magazine published by USDA Rural Development, features wind energy.

The theme of this year's convention will focus on renewable energy economic opportunities for farmers, ranchers and rural communities.

Ethanol, cellulosic ethanol, biodiesel, carbon sequestration, and farmer- and community-owned wind (technology) each represent a new renewable energy based market with new sources of revenue.

Advanced Wind Energy Workshop

NOVEMBER 16
8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Old No. 1 Bar and Grill in Downtown Morris

The primary objective of this conference is to open a dialog for partnership between two of the world's leading countries in developing and implementing new wind energy technologies. Innovative German companies will present their technologies. Opportunities for business cooperation in the US will be discussed.

Wind power is on a 25% annual growth curve. Looming carbon caps will pressure munis and IOU’s to add wind to their power supply. The capital is flowing. And FERC is actively addressing transmission access; soon the grid will be able to absorb much larger volumes of wind-generated power.
