AREDAY 2012 Program 9th Annual Leadership for America’s August 16 - 20, 2012 Aspen, Colorado Energy Future “…the Federal Government can and should lead by example when it comes to creating innovative ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy efficiency, conserve water, reduce waste, and use environmentally-responsible products and technologies.” – President Obama OCTOBER 2009 9th Annual Welcome to the 9th annual American Renewable Energy Day Summit, Expo, and Film Festival, “Leadership for America’s Energy Future: A National Conversation.” Now is the time for leadership. 2012 is a year for critical leadership on energy solutions locally, regionally, and nationally. In November we will be electing a President, members of Congress, and local leaders. The nexus of energy, water, and climate is incumbent upon us. The month of July has been the warmest month in American recorded history and with a severe drought gripping the nation, there has never been a more urgent need to advance renewable energy. We ask our presenters and participants to step up to the task of identifying and addressing what must be done in order to facilitate a transition from fossil fuels to clean technology. This year can be a turning point. We ask all of you to embrace the challenge of providing individual and collective leadership necessary to take our nation onto a sustainable path forward.

  • Wind Energy in Indian Country: Turning to Wind for the Seventh Generation
    Wind Energy in Indian Country: Turning to Wind for the Seventh Generation by Andrew D. Mills Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In the Energy and Resources Group of the University of California, Berkeley Approved: _______________________________________________________ Daniel Kammen Date Professor, Energy and Resources, Goldman School of Public Policy University of California, Berkeley Approved: ________________________________________________________ Alastair Iles Date Post-Doctoral Scholar University of California, Berkeley Received by the Graduate Secretary: ___________________________________________ Jane Stahlhut Date Wind Energy in Indian Country A.D. Mills Abstract Abstract Utility-scale wind projects are increasingly being developed in rural areas of the United States. In the West in particular, many of the Native American reservations have large areas of windy lands suitable for large-scale wind projects. A number of these tribes are interested in developing wind projects on their land for the purpose of economic development. The aim of this project is to show how wind energy projects on tribal lands can benefit economic development. Further, the project will explore the role of tribal decisions and federal incentives on the feasibility of a project. Although a number of studies have investigated the total impact of wind energy projects on rural economies, no comprehensive study has been carried out for a tribal wind energy project. Tribal wind energy projects are different than other rural wind projects in a number of important ways. The tribe has the option of becoming more than a simple landowner by participating in a project as a partner with an outside investment company or by developing the project on their own.

  • Wind Energy Development in Region 8 Draft 12/19/07
    Wind Energy Development in Region 8 Draft 12/19/07 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.0 INTRODUCTION 2.0 POTENTIAL FOR WIND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IN REGION 8 3.0 BENEFITS OF WIND ENERGY 4.0 POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF WIND ENERGY PROJECTS 5.0 WHAT LAWS APPLY TO WIND ENERGY PROJECTS? 6.0 EPA POLICIES AND PROCEDURES PROMOTING WIND ENERGY 7.0 OTHER FEDERAL RESOURCES 8.0 STATE AND TRIBAL RESOURCES 9.0 REFERENCES 1 Wind Energy Development in Region 8 EPA Region 8 supports a sound national energy policy that encourages a clean and diverse portfolio of domestic energy supplies. Renewable energy can help provide for our future needs by harnessing abundant, naturally occurring sources of energy, such as the sun, the wind, geothermal heat, and biomass. Renewable and alternative energy supplies not only help diversity our energy portfolio; they do so with few adverse environmental impacts. Region 8 has significant potential for wind energy development. States and tribes in this Region are actively engaged in increasing wind energy projects in their areas. In an ongoing effort to accelerate and streamline the development of wind energy resources, and to ensure that human health and the environment are protected as wind energy production continues to increase, EPA Region 8 has adopted this document regarding wind energy development projects. In 2004, Region 8 adopted a regional energy strategy. This strategy sets forth a vision for 2010, which calls for increased energy efficiency and renewable energy as one of four key regional energy goals. Region 8’s energy strategy states, “[t]he challenge is to identify steps that EPA can take in the near and mid-term to accelerate and streamline the development of this and other clean, renewable energy resources.” Region 8’s regional energy strategy may be found at http://www.epa.gov/region8/R8EnergyStrategyFinalDraftv3.30.04NoMaps.pdf.

  • Wind Powering America FY06 Activities Summary
    Wind Powering America FY06 Activities Summary Dear Wind Powering America Colleague, We are pleased to present the Wind Powering America FY06 Activities Summary, which reflects the accomplishments of our state wind working groups, our programs at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and our partner organizations. The national WPA team remains a leading force for moving wind energy forward in the United States. At the beginning of FY07 (October 2006), there were 11,078 megawatts (MW) of wind power installed across the United States, with an additional 3,000 MW projected in both 2007 and 2008. When our partnership was launched in 2000, there were 2,500 MW of installed wind capacity in the United States. In 1999, only four states had more than 100 MW of installed wind capacity. Sixteen states now have more than 100 MW installed. We anticipate five to six additional states will join the 100-MW club in 2007, and by the end of the decade, more than 30 states will have passed the 100-MW milestone. WPA celebrates the 100-MW milestones because the first 100 megawatts are always the hardest and lead to significant experience, recognition of the wind energy’s benefits, and expansion of the vision of a more economically and environmentally secure and sustainable future. WPA continues to work with its national, regional, and state partners to communicate the opportunities and benefits of wind energy to a diverse set of stakeholders. WPA now has 29 state wind working groups (welcoming New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri in 2006) that form strategic alliances to communicate wind’s benefits to the state stakeholders.

  • AREDAY 2018 Program
    Presents the 15th Annual AREDAY Summit 2018 Global Security, Conservation Capitalism & Regeneration: Whole Systems Solutions to Climate Change “We need to respect the oceans and take care of them as if our lives depended on it. Because they do.” — Sylvia Earle Since 2004 bringing leaders and educators together to promote the rapid implementation of renewable energy and energy efficient strategies as practical solutions to the climate crisis through presentation, demonstration, performance, film and dialogue. Global Security, Conservation Capitalism & Regeneration: Whole Systems Solutions to Climate Change WELCOME TO THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY AREDAY SUMMIT, IMPACT FILM, Expo, AREDAY Electric and Concert. Our theme this year is Global Security, Conservation Capitalism and Regeneration: Whole Systems Solutions to Climate Change. What does it mean to have Global Security in 2018? The challenges of humanity and life on Earth are ever escalating, and range from the threat of nuclear war to precious Arctic ice melting along with the Greenland Ice Sheet and the Antarctic. Oceans are acidifying and over half of the world’s coral reef has bleached due to a warming world. Species and habitat loss is rampant. CO2 emissions and climate change advances are at a turning point in 2020 - to reverse or not, and the list goes on. The solutions are front and center and at the American Renewable Energy Institute we focus on 10% of the problem and pursue 90% of the solution. This year’s AREDAY Summit is an invitation to join us in the exploration of solutions and the collaborations for implementation. In Aspen/Snowmass, Colorado we have gathered over 160 of the world’s leading minds and innovators for four days of discussions and deliberations to tackle solutions to these very pressing issues.
