How Local Communities Can Create Jobs and Lower Taxes with New Energy Technologies

Renewable Energy Solutions

An in-depth look at a host of exciting emerging technologies in renewable energy and the potential impact on local economies. Communities can now take control of the production of their own transportation fuels, electricity and heat. The enormous sums of money currently spent on energy can now be kept at home...creating many new jobs and revitalizing communities.

Find Out How You Can

• Generate electricity and heat on-site using solid oxide fuel cells and local renewable fuels

• Create hundreds of jobs using technologies that payback in less than five years

• Solve environmental problems at their source...while at the same time creating wealth and jobs

• Produce value-added products from waste and biomass

Speech/Keynote Address: $1500

What Others Say

Author and energy consultant, Barry J. Hanson brings to the renewable energy discussion a broad understanding of both energy issues and applications with a formal education in chemistry and work experience as both a chemist and a mechanical design engineer. Hanson was a project manager for Beckett Harmon Colvin and Day, Inc. of Denver, Colorado where he was responsible for the design development and mechanical systems construction documents for commercial and industrial projects.

Mr. Hanson and his wife, Alice, have hands on experience with alternative energy, having designed their alternative energy home and business facility using passive solar, wind and PV. They now live on eighty wooded acres in far northern Wisconsin...a mile from the nearest utility line.

The book Energy Power Shift has found a place as a handbook for community planners across the country and as a highly acclaimed text in environmental studies courses.

Mr. Hanson is a member of BERA, the biomass energy research association and works as a renewable energy consultant.

New Book:  Look for Energy Revolution: Breaking Away from Big Oil, Coal Nuclear and Business as Usual by Barry J. Hanson due to be released soon.
