Aimee will be participating this evening at a “Town Hall on Energy” moderated by Governor Jennifer Granholm of Michigan. She'll join Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers, Apollo Alliance President Jerome Ringo, and Jim Bauer, a former steelworker from Pennsylvania who found work with Gamesa, a Spanish wind energy company that is building wind turbines in Pennsylvania. Check it out on CSPAN at 8PM Eastern. We'll get the video up soon!

UPDATE: Check out Aimee's convention appearance here.

It is appropriate that our first blog is from the Democratic National Convention, not because it is political or partisan, indeed, in spite of that. It is because this is a week about hope and about the possibilities. Conversations are filled with discussions of what will be possible with Barack Obama as president -- new policies, new business opportunities, new models for our communities, for bringing jobs back to the parts of America that have lost so many due to outsourcing or the energy crisis.
