Ind. Biomass Working Group Mtg 1/8/13 at Purdue on Biofuels for Aviation; Urge Solar and Wind Groups to Meet Again!

Dear IndianaDG Readers:

I pledge to share information about upcoming events and activities concerning renewable energy and distributed generation as best as I can. Please send me information about your events and activities including installations to share with our readers as well as via other social media such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

It will be easiest to cut and paste this information if I receive it in a Microsoft Word file as well as a PDF that I can post for readers to download.

I also want to encourage everyone to urge the Governor-elect Mike Pence and Lt. Governor-elect Sue Ellsperman to reactivate and invigorate both the Indiana Solar Energy Working Group and Indiana Wind Working Group activities. Personally, I attended the meetings of both these two working groups and found them very valuable, especially the networking activities before, during and after the meetings. Just a thought. Perhaps you might also have some ideas on how to improve the wind and solar working groups. Please share your thoughts with our readers.
