The American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE), in conjunction with the House and Senate Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucuses, and with the participation of many Supporting Organizations, is pleased to announce the annual national policy conference: Phase II of Renewable Energy in America – A Global Outlook taking place November 28-29, 2007 in Washington, DC. The 2007 conference will broaden our perspectives once again, now looking at the global outlook on renewable energy and putting U.S. development in the context of global factors. Countries such as Denmark, Germany, Spain, and India have been early leaders in wind power. Japan, Germany, Spain, India, and lately China are early leaders in solar energy. Europe as a whole has committed to substantial increases in the use of renewables in electricity, transportation and heating. Developing countries are also struggling to put renewables into use, and there are success stories and lessons learned. Overall renewable energy is emerging. We invite you to join us in assessing the outlook.
In this context, Phase II 2007 also serves as a preparatory meeting for the Washington International Renewable Energy Conference (WIREC) , taking place March 4-6, 2008 in Washington, DC. This ministerial-level global meeting of governments and stakeholders is envisioned to bring together 120-150 countries plus leaders from industry, finance, academia, and civil society.
If the Phase II conferences in 2004-2006 are indicators for 2007, it will be a dynamic event in which renewable energy leaders raise the bar on policy considerations, offering a vision of a renewable future and great insights into the policy and private sector actions necessary to get us there.
