The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) returns to the Cannon Caucus Room on Capitol Hill for the 6th straight year to engage the Congress in a dialog about how to set public policy for a scale-up of renewable energy to 25% by 2025 and 50% by 2050. You are invited to participate. Please join us for this high-end policy forum where the most thoughtful leaders of renewable energy will gather to present their thoughts and come away with a clearer insight on what must be done and a deeper commitment to getting it done. This year, we will address U.S. competitiveness in the global renewable energy industry, in the face of aggressive competition from China, Germany, Japan and other countries. The conference will cover the renewable energy landscape, the challenges we face, and solutions to renewable electricity and renewable fuels.
