This is "Clean Energy Week"

Nearly 100 organizations in the renewable energy, energy efficiency and environmental arenas are joining forces to turn February 1-5, 2010, into Clean Energy Week.  The week is focused on the national imperative to enact comprehensive clean energy policy – including climate solutions, renewable energy and energy efficiency programs – as a means of creating new jobs, ensuring U.S. global leadership in the emerging clean energy era, enhancing security and preserving our planet for the generations to follow.  The groups are supporting legislation recently adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives, the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES), which could create up to 1.9 million jobs between its enactment and 2020. Details on Clean Energy Week are on the CEW website at www.cleanenergyweek.org.

In conjunction with the week, The New York Solar Energy Society is hosting a February 4 summit at the Cooper Union in NYC: "Policy to Make New York a Clean Energy Capital"  -- Read more about that event at:  www.nyses.org
