Welcome to the Mississippi Biomass & Renewable Energy Council website. We have a lot of activity occurring in Mississippi in a variety of sources of renewable energy. We continue to advance the cause of renewable energy, though it seems at times to be too slow. There is a paradigm shift occurring in this country, as we struggle through difficult economic times, political strife, wars and conflicts worldwide, and technological changes.
We can take the glass half full/glass half empty approach. We can always find fault, point fingers, blame someone else, or just take a downright negative, woe-is-me attitude. Or, we can consider how far we've come in just the last generation in technology, our standards of living, our quality of life, and our general comfort.
I prefer the glass half full approach.
No doubt, there are challenges. There always will be. If it was easy, it would have already been done.
We expect to be an unbiased, transparent source of information. Sound, peer-reviewed science will win in the marketplace, given a fair and equitable opportunity. We are here to work with everyone—industry, government, consumer groups—everyone is welcome in our ranks.
This year the Southern BioProducts and Renewable Energy Conference will be held at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 10 and 11. Go to the links on this website to the announcement and to the registration page.
Come see how the glass half full continues to fill up.
See you in Biloxi.
Pete
