Just a quick word of thanks to everyone who came out last night for the screening of "An Inconvenient Truth". The crowd really surpassed our expectations. Thanks for the support.

Please feel free to come on out to the Thursday and Friday events if you have the time. And spread the word.

Speaking of today's AET debate panel (4-6PM), Craig?

I'm not aware if any of the other AET professors have signed on in the last minute.

But we do know we'll have at least four panel members:

Dr. Simon Ng - Director of my department, WSU's Alternative Energy Technology program.

Wayne County Exec., Robert Ficano.

Dan Radomski, Director of Industry Services for NextEnergy.

And a representative from the Sierra Club.

Thanks. I was thinking of some of the hacks from Soc. & Poli Sci. Somewhere along the way a few of these folks forgot the meaning of "free exchange of ideas."

No promises but I'll buzz over if I can get a grip on these damn papers.
