Cascadia/Microsoft TransTech Forum On Future Trends in Energy, Technology and Transportation May 31-June 1
SEATTLE, May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- "Energy, security and transportation as domestic and foreign policy issues make this conference very timely, and we're fortunate to have the insights of so many distinguished leaders from the public and private sector," said Bruce Agnew, Director of the Seattle-based Cascadia Center for Regional Development.
The Cascadia Center and Microsoft are pleased to bring elected officials, entrepreneurs and public policy experts to Microsoft's campus June 1 to provide their proposals for securing our ports and diversifying America's energy portfolio.
Congressmen Adam Smith and Dave Reichert will speak in the morning on homeland security, to be followed by Senator Maria Cantwell's luncheon address on reforming America's energy policy. Following her remarks, Senator Cantwell will answer questions from the press. Senator Sam Brownback (speaking via videoconference) and former CIA Director Jim Woolsey will speak on an afternoon panel of energy policy experts including Assistant Secretary of Energy Andrew Karsner and KC Golden from Climate Solutions.
In addition to hearing from policymakers and innovators in alternative fuels, conference participants and members of the press will tour a showcase including the AFS Trinity concept car, a vehicle that gets 250 miles per gallon, and CalCars' Toyota Prius plug-in electric hybrid and a repowered for biodiesel Volvo. By recharging vehicle batteries from the power grid and going weeks between fill-ups in the city, plug-in hybrids promise to substitute cheap domestic electricity for expensive imported oil.
