Notes on "Forum on State Money for Alternative Energy Draws More Than 100 to HACC"

More than 100 people showed up for a forum on how Pennsylvanians, from small business owners to local governments, can draw a from a large pool of money the state has set aside for alternative energy ventures.

Both grants and loans are available to people who apply.

The money will go to people who want to install geothermal and solar, create and upgrade buildings to be more conservative and efficient with energy.

The CFA which handles part of the stimulus package which was sent to Pennsylvania supports increasing reliance on alternative energies.

The Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority has around 100 million dollars available for rebates if money is invested into alternative energy.

The audience of the forum consisted of contractors, installers, architects, engineers, developers, and local government members.
