Second Annual Smart Grid Innovators' Conference, Thursday, June 17th

We wanted to share information about a conference later this week happening in Massachusetts...See below for details on the Second Annual Smart Grid Innovators' Conference. Electric vehicles are a hot topic, and the information is changing rapidly. While we are continually looking for energy independence, especially from fossil fuels, electric vehicles have been re-emerging once again as a very real possibility for avoiding gasoline and diesel burning cars. The conference is approaching quickly, this Thursday - consider attending to find out the future of the electric car!
