US-Africa
Energy Minister's Summit
Dear GENI
Friend,
The
best way to predict the future is to create it
— is a quote that I love. The GENI Initiative
has the opportunity to create positive change next
month throughout Africa!
You will
recall that just two months ago, US Energy Secretary
Bill Richardson hosted the Latin American Energy Minister's
Summit. With your support, we pre-mailed to all energy
ministers and fully participated in the exhibition
and dialogue. The outcome: a pledge by the Latin American
Energy Ministers to work together towards integration
of the entire continent!
Now
Secretary Richardson is inviting all African Energy
Ministers to convene in Tucson, Arizona on December
13 – 15. Attached is the announcement, plus Calvin
Humphrey's statement on Africa's
energy infrastructure requirements. As you'll
see, the need in Africa is enormous, and the challenges
are daunting.
This conference
is a trimtab
event — where we can accelerate the commitment
by ministers, development banks and the media to the
strategy of linking renewable resources throughout
the continent for the benefit of all.
You saw
the Dept.
of Energy Press Release from the Latin
America Energy Ministers Summit. In two months,
we hope to send you a similar commitment by all African
ministers. Your support enables us to contact these
delegates, show up with the GENI exhibit and press
them towards cooperation via their power networks.
The result: clean water, education for women and
children, reduced infant mortality and birth rates,
increased literacy and quality of life.
That's
what we all want.
In partnership
for the planet,
Peter Meisen
Presidet
p.s. Our
largest expense for this summit is in printing, pre-mailing
and handouts of The GENI Initiative to all African
Energy Ministers.
Your extra support would be welcome!
