Additionally, PV solar is now a more attractive energy conservation measure (ECM) within energy service company (ESCO) contracts.   Dave Buemi Senior Director, Marketing and Government Markets for Gehrlicher Solar America Corp. will provide an update to the audience on both PV technology and business and make some predictions about where the industry is heading.

Today this great system, which supplies drinking water to 15 million people, accounts for 60% of US farm exports, and is home to historic sites, formed the roots for American blues and jazz is still managed or regulated by century-old place-based or special-interest-based practices. Today’s scientists and water managers acknowledge that integrated approaches – including water quality, economic imperatives, and recreational engagement – are needed to protect the Mississippi.  Moreover, we have the 21st century tools and processes, to unify the nation’s approach to America’s great waterway.  In this 45 minute live interview, America's Waterway founder, Anne Lewis, discusses with Ed Saltzberg the threats to the River, their implications locally, regionally and nationally and the effort the organization is leading to address them.  Security and Sustainability Radio is produced by the Security and Sustainability Forum,  a public interest educational organization that convenes global experts to inform decision making.  Join SSF on the web site for free access to our webinar archives.  00:49:00Security and Sustainability RadionoMississippi River,Cultural resources,ecology,River management,water qualityAmerica’s Waterway, www.americaswaterway.org, advocates a National Dialogue for the Future of the Mississippi River to build unified, holistic approaches to the
