Michigan Energy Alternatives and the Michigan Land Use Institute invite you to: ENERGY:THE REAL COSTS A FREE Workshop on Energy Cost Forecasting and Energy Efficiency October 22-23, 2008 MLUI World Headquarters in Traverse City 148 East Front Street, Suite 301 A golden opportunity to hear personal testimonials and receive free, in-depth training on powerful new tools that will help us replace Michigan’s coal rush with a prosperous, clean-energy future. Energy-Forecast Modeling: Dr. Andy Bardwell will provide training on how to use his free energy-demand modeling software, REALCost. It models the costs of electrical generation from individual resources or entire systems, and is an alternative to the “black box” analyses utilities often use to justify their plans. Check out Andy’s company at www.bardwellconsulting.com. Plus… Andy’s wife, Nancy LaPlaca, shows how Colorado built a powerful citizen-led clean energy movement. Nancy also details her time as an energy activist at the Democratic National Convention. The Power of Energy Efficiency: Glenn Cannon, former head of the American Municipal Power Assoc., speaks to utility groups and trade associations about energy efficiency’s great importance and opportunity. He’ll do the same for us, with plenty of time for questions. Glenn will give his presentation "The Business and Ethical Decision for Energy Efficiency."
