Video clips of the 2007 Phase II speakers are now available on the Speakers page.
The American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE),
in conjunction with the House and Senate Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Caucuses, and with the participation of many Supporting Organizations, hosted the
annual national policy conference: Phase II of Renewable Energy in America – A Global
Outlook, which took place from November 28-29, 2007 in Washington, DC.
The 2007 conference broadened our perspectives once again, by looking at the global
outlook on renewable energy and putting U.S. development in the context of global
factors. Countries such as Denmark, Germany, Spain, and India have been early leaders
in wind power. Japan, Germany, Spain, India, and China are early leaders in solar
energy. Europe as a whole has committed to substantial increases in the use of renewables
in electricity, transportation and heating. Developing countries are also struggling
to put renewables into use, and there are success stories and lessons learned. Overall
renewable energy is emerging. We thank everyone who was involved for their participation.
