Hippies, Rebels and CEOs

Peter WestIt is day three of the Clean Cities Conference in Phoenix, and the convention center is packed with conference goers, all here for the same cause. With dozens of sessions, exhibits, ceremonies and receptions, people attending the conference are promised hours of information and entertainment. The crowds of people filling the convention center cannot be filed into one specific stereotype, as business people, hippies, yuppies, truckers and more can be seen in all directions. This just goes to show that the topic of alternative fuels is one which appeals to many different demographics.

But enough about me, let’s talk about fuel

Peter WestYou maybe read the little bio about who I am, so I am not going to spend a lot of time introducing myself. But just in case you didn’t read it, my name is Peter West, and I am a sophomore Marketing major from Emerson College in Boston. I am spending the week in sunny (when I say sunny, I mean ridiculously hot) Phoenix, Arizona, where I will be working with registration at the Clean Cities conference. During this week, I hope to find out really what is going on in the world of alternative fuels, and why exactly they are such a big deal. The only information which has been directed at today’s youth on the threat of the wasteful society we live in, comes from over exaggerated movies on the end of the world via global warming, or from screaming talk show liberals. The youth of today is tomorrow’s economic powerhouse, and I want to know how alternative fuels can be marketed towards a younger demographic. The technology is out there, the cars are in production, now all that is needed are people willing to trade in their Hummers for more fuel efficient alternatives. It can happen, us kids just need a little information.

Welcome to Domestic Fuel Peter. I’m really looking forward to meeting you and working with you.
