REP Roundup!

Hello all! It's time for another edition of the "Rep Roundup!"

If you're unfamiliar with REPs, or Feed-In Tariffs as they are also called, check out the Why REPs? page over at the Alliance for Renewable Energy to find out why this legislation is being called the "the world's most effective renewable energy policy." 

At Wind-Works.org Paul Gipe writes about Indiana Representative Matt Pierce introducing REP legislation into the Indiana General Assembly, and other REP activity in the Midwest.  (Click here for the article.)

Our friends at FARE are hosting a conference February 3rd to discuss "Effective Renewable Energy Policies: Stimulating Job Creation, Long Term Investments, and Improving Energy Security."  If you'll be in the Tallahassee area, do consider coming to what is sure to be a lively, informative, and collaborative conference!

And lastly but not leastly, there's tons of buzz about REPs/Feed-In Tariffs in the blogosphere!  Come check out all the sites and articles we're bookmarking on our Delicious site.  If you're on Delicious yourself, we encourage you to use the tag "REPs" when you come across REP/FIT articles.

Thanks, and we'll see you soon for another Roundup!

2008 EarthAction Partner Organization Technology Survey

In 2009 we want to use the Internet more to bring together EarthAction’s 2,600 Partner Organizations in over 160 countries. We want to encourage and enable our Partners to communicate with each other, help each other on projects, share information, skills and expertise. To begin, we carried out a Technology Survey of all the Partners for whom we had email addresses. Click here to see the results of the survey. Send us your ideas of how we can use the EarthAction Network to create a more just, peaceful and sustainable world.
