Energy is always on the forefront of our minds, whether it is the energy we need to get moving in the morning, the energy required for our cars to transport us to
work, or how much our next utility bill is going to cost.

Energy is all around us and we utilize it throughout almost all of our daily activities. Energy is discussed very fervently whether in a political climate or at the grocery store or local meeting place with our friends. Energy consumption is at its peak and continually rising, but we are better educated on the subject and realization is that we need to conserve or curb our usage for both economical and environmental reasons.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to explore new technologies that are being developed to address the need for locally produced energy. The 2009 Northeast
PA Energy Solutions Expo was a large success with over 600 people attending to learn about all of the new and exciting technologies and products that are
available. The educational sessions were a huge hit with the attendees as they learned about energy conservation and whole host of new and innovative technologies that are available for use.
