The next Border Energy Forum is in Hermosillo, Sonora, on October 22-24, 2012.
This will be the 19th year of a conference that has demonstrated the enthusiasm for the potential of clean energy like natural gas and renewables in the ten border states is boundless. We fully expect that we will see continued progress after the 18th annual Forum in October 2011 in El Paso, Texas.
The original idea for the Border Energy Forum was to gather 50 people each from the United States and Mexico once a year to exchange information about the best ways to produce and consume energy in our fast-growing region, forge new partnerships and help each other work together on our twin goals of economic development and environmental protection.
Although we have grown to an annual crowd surpassing 300, usually evenly divided between Americans and Mexicans, we have otherwise fulfilled that original concept to become a cornerstone of energy policy and program development for the region.
We have representatives from the federal governments of both Mexico and the United States, as well as state and local officials from both sides of the border. We have men and women from the private sector - energy producers and energy consumers - university professors researchers and members of environmental groups.
With Forum XIX in Hermosillo, the Forum will now have met at least once in each of the 10 U.S. and Mexican border states. We appreciate the hospitality of the Comision de Energía del Estado de Sonora, co-host.
