Clean Energy Summit

Oxfam America was kind enough to pay for Angelica and I to attend the National Clean Energy Summit, at UNLV, on August 19th.

"Industry leaders, scientists, policy experts, citizens, and the media gathered in Nevada at the national summit hosted by the Center for American Progress Action Fund, U.S. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), and University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to chart a course for our nation's clean energy future. This is a pivotal opportunity to focus on defining a policy agenda that accelerates the development of renewable energy, energy-efficiency technologies, and robust clean energy markets in Nevada, the nation, and the world."

We made some important contacts and heard a few really impressive and compelling speakers. We were able to give Adaptation packets to Dina Titus and Hilda Solis. Further, it was just really encouraging to sit in a room of hundreds of people from across the country, all gathered in Las Vegas, of all places, and discussing such an important and prevalent topic. It wasn't a debate, or even really an exploration. It was an agenda, with goals and hopes for the future.
