Wind energy is an important resource for the country, and our friends at Farm Foundation are sponsoring another important conversation on the subject.

The Farm Foundation Forum: Wind Energy Issues and Challenges will be held Tuesday, February 10, 2009 from 9 to 11 am (coffee starts at 8:30 am) at the National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW, in Washington D.C.:

Presenters will be: Ian Baring-Gould, National Renewable Energy Laboratory; Peggy Beltrone, Commissioner, Cascade County, Montana; Mark Willers, MinWind, Luverne, Minn.; and John Holt, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.

There is no charge for attending, and everyone is invited. As always, Farm Foundation hopes to get a wide variety of opinions at this forum to make sure they’re hearing real solutions… not just everyone singing from the same page. These conversations are challenging, because these days we really need ideas that challenge the norm.

If you want to attend, please RSVP by noon CST, Friday, Feb. 6, to Mary Thompson, Farm Foundation Director of Communications, mary@farmfoundation.org.
