SLND News Solar Night Executives Attend St Louis Energy/USDA Confab
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solar Night Industries (OTC: SLND) wishes to announce that SNI senior
management led by President Jason Loyet are attending Advancing
Renewable Energy: An American Rural Renaissance, an alternative
renewable energy conference organized by the Departments of Agriculture
and Energy in St. Louis, Missouri on October 10-12, 2006. This
conference will create partnerships and strategies necessary to
accelerate commercialization of renewable energy industries and
distribution systems, the crux of President Bush's Advanced Energy
Initiative (AEI). In fact, President Bush himself is scheduled to give
the keynote address on Thursday evening, October 12, 2006.
USDA and DOE expect conference attendees to cover a broad spectrum of
interests, including: agriculture, energy, transportation, financial and
investment, federal and state government, and elected officials. Energy
Secretary Samuel Bodman stated, "Never has reducing our dependence on
foreign oil been such a pressing issue. We have the will and the means
to replace significant quantities of foreign oil with homegrown fuel. We
are hopeful this conference will identify major impediments and critical
pathways to get more domestically grown, renewable energy sources out of
the laboratory and into consumers' hands as soon as possible."
SNI President Jason Loyet pointed out that the conference has identified
one of the major sectors primed for solar energy growth, the
agricultural sector. "They subtitled the conference "An American Rural
Renaissance" for a reason. Geographically distant agricultural fields
are ideal candidates for low power, off-grid power modern energy driven
solutions. America's farmers are being financially squeezed by the high
cost of foreign oil imports. Solar Night Industries is working to help
the farmer with the development and distribution of solar powered water
pumps, solar irrigation systems and clean energy solutions for AG,"
Loyet maintained. "SNI will continue to seek out best in class products
and develop mutually beneficial relationships with agricultural
contractors, installers and homebuilders."
For the past several years, USDA Rural Development has provided
renewable energy grants. During FY 2005, 154 grants totaling over $22
million were awarded. Since the start of the Bush Administration, Rural
Development has funded more than $356 million in renewable energy and
energy efficiency ventures through various programs.
