I'm not an attorney but I work for a law firm as an advisor on Real Estate and Mortgage. Also, I have other license to legally advise on financial matters. My dream job would be to teach Geography or Anthropology at University. Perhaps when I retire.
T. Boone Pickens is bringing the Pickens Plan for Energy Independence to Chicago in a town hall meeting set for next Tuesday, October 14, from 10:30 a.m. – noon at Navy Pier (Grand Ballroom).
US Rep. Rahm Emanuel will address the town meeting to highlight Chicago 's strengths in leading the nation to energy independence. We also expect Mayor Richard M. Daley to attend and make brief remarks.
The Town Hall meeting will feature Mr. Pickens' presentation of his "Pickens Plan," which has attracted wide attention since he announced it earlier this year. He will then host a Q&A session with the audience.
In their remarks, Rep. Emanuel and Mayor Daley will showcase Chicago as ready, willing and able to lead the nation in creating new business and new job opportunities in alternative and renewable energy. To that end, the Chicago Manufacturing Center is organizing an industrial showcase featuring five companies that are developing new products in renewable/alternative energy, are suppliers to the renewable energy industry, and/or are implementing new technologies and processes that dramatically reduce energy consumption, cost, and emissions at their facilities.
In announcing his participation in the Town Hall, Rep. Emanuel stated, "Our energy crisis directly affects our national security, our economic security, and our environmental security. I think we need to look at our current energy situation the same way previous generations looked at the great challenges of their day. For centuries, Americans have been at the forefront in developing the technologies that move people. We connected our railroads from east to west, we put a man on the moon, and we built a state-of-the-art interstate highway system connecting New York to California and Chicago to St. Louis . Our commitment to progress and overcoming obstacles made us global leaders in technology. Now we are faced with an obstacle that has been looming since the oil shocks of the 1970's: our nation's addiction to foreign oil. We have an obligation - to our citizens and to our world - to rise to the challenges of the next frontier in energy."
The Chicago Manufacturing Center views the "New Energy Economy" as a tremendous growth opportunity for small and mid-sized manufacturers in our region. Sustainable manufacturing and renewable energy production are key elements of the Chicago Climate Action Plan announced recently by Mayor Daley.
We invite you to participate in the October 14 Town Meeting to learn more about these opportunities and to take part in the discussion. This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are requested. You can confirm you attendance by e-mail to townhall@respublicagroup.com
