Opportunities to Learn about Alternative Fuels

We are excited to announce to you two special opportunities in the Birmingham area this month. They are both hosted by the Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition and focus on alternative energy sources. These two events are both FREE of charge.

The first is on October 15th at Lawson State University titled Odyssey Day:

National Odyssey Day is a nationwide, biennial event with the mission of educating the public about alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles and the important role these vehicles play in providing solutions to our nation's growing energy security and environmental issues.

Come join us for a full day dedicated to providing clear, concise information about alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles. Enjoy viewing, and driving, many of the alternative fuel vehicles that will be on display.

The second opportunity is a Forum on Energy Policy on October 18th at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa with T. Boone Pickes as the keynote speaker. Pickens will be discussing the national and economic security risks of our addiction to foreign oil, and his Pickens Plan for U.S. energy independence. The meeting will be held at "The Zone-Bryant Denny Stadium" which is located in the North End-Zone & University Blvd. This event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 5:30 and the event begins promptly at 6:00.
