SolarAttic Invites Bush/Gore to Energy
City To See Global Warming Solutions
Energy City, USA. (October 12, 2000) -- Whether you think Global Warming is real or not doesn't
seem to matter much to the entrepreneurs located in Energy City, USA. Whether you think the
government should be involved or if private enterprise should solve it all also doesn't matter much.
Why? Several years ago, the Minnesota Environmental Initiative established a program in Minnesota
called Energy Alley. As a part of that program, the designation of Energy City was given to the City
of Elk River, Minnesota. Since then, entrepreneurs have been gathering their solutions for display and
demonstration in Energy City. In an effort to inform the nation that a multitude of energy solutions for
global warming exists, SolarAttic has personally invited both Governor George Bush and Vice
President Al Gore to Energy City for a tour.
Energy City has many new energy companies and technologies available. Among these are Econar
Energy Systems Corp., a manufacturer of geothermal heat pumps, a new technology that can reduce
home heating costs by up to 70%; NRG Energy which turns municipal solid waste into fuel for
electricity; and, Great River Energy which safely burns this new fuel to create electricity in Energy
City. SolarAttic developed new technology that uses attic heat. The company's technologies can save
30% of home heating costs nationwide, 50% of electric hot water costs and 95% of swimming pool
heating costs by using free attic energy. New technology to generate electricity from low-grade wind
resources is also available from Northern Alternative Energy. Plus, Energy City now uses methane
gas from its landfill to generate enough electricity to power 200 homes. More information about
touring Energy City, USA can be obtained by contacting Jim Stanley, who is Chairman of the local
Chamber of Commerce and Vice President of SolarAttic. He can be reached at (763) 441-3440.
