Last week's WINDPOWER conference and exhibition in Pittsburgh broke all records for the show with 290 exhibitors and more than 5,000 attendees. That's a healthy sign for the future of wind energy in the US. At least that's the hope of the American Wind Energy Association, organizers of the event. During the show the Association, the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory committed to develop an action plan focused on providing up to 20 percent of the nation's electricity from wind energy. The WINDPOWER 2007 Conference & Exhibition will take place June 3 - 6, 2007 in Los Angeles, California. (Hmmm; in the neighborhood; maybe I'll attend.)
