April 8, 2008 Energy Solutions Forum — Ashland
http://www.bioenergyforum.com/
| Recent spikes in energy prices, uncertainty over future supply and concern about the environment have brought energy issues to the forefront of policy debates around the country. Interest in alternative energy sources including biofuels from organic substances is at an all time high.
In an effort to increase understanding of the economic development opportunities for communities and businesses from biofuels in our region, UW-Extension and its project partners have planned an upcoming educational program. The one-day Ashland-Bayfield County Bioenergy Forum – Energy Solutions in Our Backyard will be held on Tuesday, April 8, 2008 at the AmericInn Conference Center in Ashland. The forum will begin at 9:00 a.m., include a buffet lunch at 12 noon and conclude at 3:00 p.m. Thank you– |

I am again riding the bus all month. I bought my bus pass today, and am ready. Though the rain/snow/sleet is not all that enticing.
I think there is something exciting about it though.
