Here is a great blog post at mlive.com that talks about the conference in Kalamazoo. I am planning to be there and would like to meet any readers of this blog. If they have wireless, I plan to be blogging from the event as well.

Millions of Americans, including those of us who are especially interested in energy policy and energy independence, will be watching the presidential debate tonight. After the debate, join me and thousands of others for a post-debate e-rally at Action.pickensplan.com/rally

There is no doubt that the Pickens Plan is gaining momentum nationally and here in the state of Michigan. I am excited to see that T. Boone Pickens is coming to our great state to talk about his plan and energy independence.

As much as it is an environmental issue, I see our current state of affairs both an economic crisis and economic opportunity. If there is any state economy that can benefit from renewable energy and create green collar jobs, it is our Great Lake State.

Here are the details: Oct. 1, 5:00 pm (doors open to the public at 4:30 pm). The event is being held at the Power Center at the University of Michigan, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109. The Power Center is at 121 Fletcher, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2017.
