Excerpt from Podcar City conference newsletter
On Thursday July 17, 2008 Former Vice President Al Gore posed a
“Challenge to re-power America” by putting forth a framework of a plan
that is focused on addressing the significant global warming, climate
and economic issues of our time. He is seeking to shake up an energy
debate by challenging the United States to shift its entire electricity
sector to carbon-free wind, solar and geothermal power within 10 years,
and in part use that power to fuel a new fleet of electric vehicles.
Right on cue, PODCAR CITY: ITHACA offers a ground-breaking
international conference that purposely addresses these critical issues
by highlighting and discussing the most up to date and forward thinking
sustainable transit and land-use strategies in the world. On September
14 – 16, 2008, experts in the fields of climate-change, peak oil,
alternative energy, engineering, planning, and information technology
will convene in Ithaca, NY to explore alternatives to American cardependency
with an aim to accelerate the evolution of sustainable
cities, and thus a more socially and ecologically balanced planet.
