RESOURCE

Engineering & Technology for a Sustainable World

* 25x'25
It’s the rallying cry for renewable energy and a goal for America – to get 25 percent of needed energy from renewable resources – like wind, solar, and biofuels – by 2025. The alliance is striving to bring new technologies to market and save consumers money; reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil; create good, new jobs in rural America; and clean up the air, reduce urban smog, and help slow increases in global warming. A group of volunteer farm leaders first envisioned 25x’25, and it has quickly gained support from a broad cross-section of agriculture and forestry communities with leaders from business, labor, and conservation groups joining as well.
* AE50 Awards
Winners of this year’s AE50 competition are showcased in a special section following page 4. Photos and descriptions of the award-winning products are the highlights of this issue and high points for many companies in 2006.
* Guide to Consultants
Our annual list of professional engineers and engineering firms can be easily pulled out and saved for handy, future reference. Find the 2006 Guide in the magazine’s center. Be sure to save it – where you can find it again!
