America is too dependent on foreign oil, our economy is struggling, climate change is a threat to our environmental security, and Colorado --through its unique combination of renewable energy resource potential, world-renowned research institutions and highly capable workforce-- is leading the national effort to create a new, clean energy future for America.

These, and other energy-related topics, were the focus of United States Senator Ken Salazar’s 3rd annual energy summit, New Frontiers in Energy Summit 2008, which provided over five-hundred of Colorado’s government, business and research leaders with a forum to discuss how Colorado’s renewable energy revolution is providing real solutions to the unique national, environmental and economic security challenges of our time.

The New Frontiers in Energy Summit 2008 featured a keynote speech from United States Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman.

Other event speakers included:

• Mitch Mandich, CEO, Range Fuels
• Soren Bo Christensen, Vestas-American Wind Technology
• David Hiller, Executive Director, Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory
• Stephen Brand, Senior Vice President, Technology, Conoco Phillips
