Energy Crisis! 
Alternative Energy Sources Get a Hard Look
New Applications, Research & Development, Better Choices

Dear EEA Friend: 

Who has not been affected by the current energy crisis?  It is the topic of our dinner conversation, our state legislature sessions, the U.S. Government   (President Bush highlighted the energy crisis in the State of the Union address), environmental groups and let’s not forget media sources, such as newspapers and television.  Our winter issue highlights some alternative energy sources that are currently under development or have become more desirable since energy sources have become less accessible.  Link to our web site at the bottom of the page to read more on alternative energy sources.
