Abstract
Renewable energy is on the go: November 28, 2007-Google, now the sixth-largest U.S. company is targeting renewable energy that could produce a gigawatt of energy at prices of 3 cents per kilowatt hour or lower, cheaper than coal," said Bill Weihl, Google's Green Energy Czar. The company would spend hundreds of millions of dollars in for-profit "breakthrough renewable energy projects."
Our renewable power conference has been triggered by the audience follow-up after the May 24, 2007 technical conference 'Reactor Designs for the Upcoming Nuclear Stations Worldwide' that inspired also an upcoming on February 28, 2008 engineering forum on Nuclear Technology in Ontario. Great interest in nuclear technology is without any doubt matched if not exceeded by both interest and sense of urgency regarding the development of renewable energy sources.
The conference will focus on technology as well as economic benefits, performance and operational experience of Ontario renewable energy producers.
The audience will include a variety of renewable power stakeholders including Ontario Power Generation staff, engineering/science students and faculty, retiree engineers, and engineering community in general (IEEE, PEO, and other engineering asociations.

Here are a few quotes of inspiration and some food for thought about work and life ... CARPE DIEM (seize the day)
"Networking is more than meeting the right people. It's about connecting with their purpose and helping them achieve their goals. It's about connectin them with their success."
Craig Elias: Canada's Mr. Networking
"So you ask “what can I do to build confidence in myself”? Start by discovering who you are (your Personal Brand), which will allow you to understand what you need to do in order to gain this confidence you seek. Once discovered, it is all about repetition, through telling yourself that you are unique and “you have nothing to lose.” Saying this will help you be more outgoing, which translates into confidence."
Dan Schawbel
"Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about
eventually will manifest in our lives. Unfortunately most of us are completely unaware of this fact and we do not monitor our thoughts with the care needed so that we can
create in our lives the results we say we want. Since the great majority of people do not feel worthy and deserving of abundant good fortune, radiant good health and total
success in all areas of their lives that overriding thought pattern controls the results people get. The first order of business of anyone who wants to enjoy success in all areas
of his or her life is to take charge of the internal dialogue they have and only think, say and behave in manner consistent with the results they truly desire. - Sidney Madwed
"You cannot escape the results of your thoughts. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration." - James Lane Allen
"In football you always get judged on your last game. Whoever you are, or how amazing you are, it's the last game that everyone has seen." - Thierry Henry
"80% of the stuff you get you are never going to need again. 20% you do need, and you need to prioritize its importance."
Julie Mahan
"It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project." - Napoleon Hill
"The only thing that doesn't change is change itself." - Heraclitus (You can't step into the same river twice, the old Greek said, because the water keeps moving. - If you're clinging to your old reliable tools, you're not just standing still, you're actually moving backwards from the point of view of those who are moving on with the river of technological change.)
"The secret of man's success resides in his insight into the moods of people, and his tact in dealing with them." - J. G. Holland
"To put distance between you and your competition, you must become more VALUABLE... not just more PRODUCTIVE."
E. R. Haas
"When one door closes another door opens; but we do often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." - Alexander Graham Bell
"Successful people are not necessary smarter than anyone else, they are simply more effective."
Ross Mackay
"You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you're doing."
Dale Carnegie
