The Annual Energy Fair, hosted by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA), is a great place to network with energy professionals and educators alike. In no other place will you find thousands of individuals excited about sharing their experiences and knowledge about renewable energy and sustainable living. We encourage you to attend!
The 2008 Energy Fair will be June 20-22.
KEEP is offering two graduate level courses at the Energy Fair. To learn about these opportunities, visit our Professional Development page.

| Energy Jokes |
An energy conservation fanatic is in his deathbed
surrounded by his family. He asks, "Is my wife here?"
She replies, "Yes, I'm here, dear." He asks, "Are my
children here?" They reply, "Yes, we're here father."
He asks, "Are my grandchildren and neighbors here?"
They all say, "Yes, we are here!" Then he lifts
himself out of bed and points out the door, "Well, if
everyone is here, why are the lights and television
left on in the living room?"
Did you hear about the well intentioned renewable
energy advocate who put his solar panels on the north
side of his house? He heard the governor was going to
turn the state around and wanted to be ready.
An energy savvy consumer replaced all the windows in
her house. She had expensive, double-insulated energy
efficient windows put in. Twelve months later she gets
a call from the contractor, complaining that the work
has been done for a year and she has failed to pay for
the work done. The consumer replies, "The salesman who
sold me those told me that in one year they would pay
for themselves."
A
man was driving down the road and ran out of gas.
Just at that moment, a bee flew in his window. The
bee said, "What seems to be the problem"? The man
replied, "I'm out of gas!" The bee told the man to
wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the
man watched as an entire swarm of bees flew to his
car and into his gas tank. After a few minutes, the
bees flew out. "Try it now," said one bee. The man
turned the ignition key and the car started right
up. "Wow!" the man exclaimed. "What did you put in
my gas tank"? The bee answered, "BP."
