Welcome to the Colorado Renewable Energy Society's new e-newsletter.  It's still called CRES Clips, but with a new design and sections.  You may have already viewed some changes to our website with more to come in the months ahead.  These changes are reflective of the new programs and initiatives we will be announcing in the near future to advance renewable energy technology and policy innovations across the state.
 
Just last month we hosted our 13th annual Colorado Renewable Energy Conference in Montrose, CO with Delta-Montrose Electric Association and San Miguel Power Association as prime sponsors.  The event brought together hundreds of people who attended seminars with leading experts in their fields; toured small hydro projects and energy efficient facilities; visited with local businesses providing renewable energy services; and, applauded the efforts of CRES' award winners in building design and leadership.  Moreover, we were challenged to look at the future of energy development with a rich set of speakers that included Amory Lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute; Don Marostica, Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade; John Hickenlooper, Mayor of Denver; Vice Admiral Richard Truly, former Director of NREL; and Steve Andrews, founder of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil.
 

We look forward to your involvement in the days ahead as we communicate our upcoming events and new initiatives.  Thanks for being part of CRES at this exciting time!
