Latin
American Energy Ministers commit to link systems!
Dear GENI
Friend,
Never doubt
that your support matters!
Last month
you learned about the Western Hemispheric Energy Ministers
Summit, held in New Orleans. This month we report
on the pledge made by those Ministers.
Two weeks
prior to the conference, we mailed a comprehensive
package to every minister and country representative
(52 delegates in 26 countries). Attached is the cover
letter to Secretary Richardson that outlined the argument
for energy integration. We included: the IEEE
panel session on Latin American Policy Reforms, our
paper on the benefits of interconnecting North and
South America via Central America, our latest newsletter
with endorsements, and four key pages translated into
Spanish.
Then on
July 29th, The
Department of Energy announced a Joint Cross Border
Transmission Project between all South American nations!
And they are blessed with abundant hydro and
geothermal potential -- providing the opportunity
to develop using clean energy resources.
You have
earned your portion of the credit for this. Yes, we
do the mailing to these people, set up our exhibit
and ask provocative questions. But without
your support, we could not show up. I hope you
realize that you are affecting millions of people's
lives. This is one way that our results are realized
-- and you should be very proud.
In partnership
for the planet,
Peter Meisen
President
