Guest Speakers Speak about Alt. Fuels
Senator John McCain, future presidential candidate, delivered a wonderful speech on the future of alternative fuels. The United States is deeply dependent on foriegn oil. The U.S alone uses about 7.6 billion barrels of oil a year. By using alternative fuels, you reduce the greenhouse emissions. An option proposed to help our environment and economy is to raise Corporate America Fuel Efficiency standards. There are currently 5 million flex fuel vehicles on the road but more are on the way. James D. Boyd talked about domestic fuels and its problems. California is the 5th largest economy and consumer of energy in the world. California is the second largest consumer of gas and diesel, the largest consumer is the United States. Many alternative fuel vehicles will be taking up the roads in California within the next year.

This was a great idea. Yes, I will get a report from my associates when I return, but this had the feel of almost being there.
Thanks for doing this.

The blog is a great way to connect the conference to our members back home. Here is a special request from me! Our coalition received a leadership award, and I can’t find the blog about the award winners. I’d like our members to know that we celebrated their leadership and success at this years’ conference! Congratulations also to Kellie Walsh, Jonathon Overly, and their coalitions on the recognition of their achievements, and the success of their coalitions in 2005. I hope to see you all in Los Angeles.
