March 9, 2011 - Focus the Nation conference at NMCC

A quick blog entry today from Presque Isle, Maine.  I'm speaking at the Focus the Nation forum held at Northern Maine Community College.  NMCC was chosen to host this event by Focus the Nation, a nonprofit whose mission statement focuses on “accelerat[ing] our transformation to a clean energy future by fostering connections between generations, and empowering young people through education, civic engagement, and action”. The event fits nicely with NMCC's role as a leader in renewable energy education, offering the first wind power technician degree in New England.  I'm excited for the opportunity to speak and to get to know the students and industry leaders who will be in attendance.
