Thank you to the over fifty clean technology sector representatives that participated in the 'One Day, One Voice' Clean Technology Policy Tour on March 5 & 6, 2008.
Participants met with over 45 members of Congress and senior officials at the Department of Energy to advocate for policies that will drive the clean technology sector.
