Tomorrow, Thursday August 27, 2009 there will be an Energy Rally in Ybor City. The Florida Energy Forum is hosting the event at the Ritz Theatre which starts @ 11 AM. So just who is the Florida Energy Forum?
“The FLA Energy Forum is a growing community of concerned citizens committed to two goals – achieving energy security for our country and holding our elected officials more accountable in shaping energy policies.
We understand Florida’s unique energy challenges and are working to unite a diverse group of Floridians to better educate ourselves about energy issues and to support a balanced approach to increasing American supplies of energy. We support expanded conservation efforts, development of renewable energy sources and increased domestic exploration of traditional energy sources.”
I have called several elected officials to see if they would be able to make it out tomorrow but I have not found a single one that confirmed. So one has to wonder if this will be a feel good rally that elected officials will not pay any attention to.
Interesting enough Rep. Kathy Castor’s office whose Congressional District this event is in will not be attending. Castor voted in favor of Cap & Trade. Her competition (Eddie Adams) has confirmed that he will be attending the event.
