Since 1982, Rocky Mountain Institute®  has demonstrated how creative solutions can create wealth, jobs and consumer choice, while strengthening national security and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels.

In San Francisco this October, RMI2009 will bring together leaders in technology and industry to discuss and debate the challenges presented in ending the fossil-fuel era. In addition, we will explore solutions that will help society make better use of its resources through efficiency and renewable energy.
