Tonight's the night

Dsc_0046

On this very stage later tonight, we'll hear from Michelle Obama.

As she has crossed America on the campaign trail, I'm sure that she has met lots of families who are struggling to pay higher energy costs. It will be interesting to see if she includes any of the stories of those folks in her speech tonight.

Over the next few days, many big names will take the podium.

What will they say about energy policy? Will they talk about how America's growing energy demands plays a part in how we address the climate change issue? Will they talk about how to ensure a reliable, affordable energy supply?

We hope so!
