Dear Kevin,

President Obama has publicly made it a priority to bring renewable energy efficiencies and education to our nation's schools.  ACORE shares his vision and is proud to announce that at our RETECH Conference in Las Vegas, NV, on February 26th, ACORE will join with Partners GREEN to deliver a petition to President Obama in support of the Partners GREEN initiative, "Onsite Renewable Energy, Efficiencies and Education at Our Nation's Schools" to promote energy literacy, onsite energy efficiency and renewable energy generation. ACORE whole-heartedly stands beside the petition and will ask its members to become signatories of this letter to President Obama at www.michigangreen.org.

The petition - being circulated by the Michigan Group for a Renewable Energy Efficient Nation, or Michigan GREEN - urges Gov. Jennifer Granholm to make changes to Senate Bill 213 that would remove economic barriers for schools wishing to set up independent renewable energy generators, such as wind turbines.
