Green energy has also been a theme that keeps reoccurring through the past two weeks as I attended an event at CSIS about encouraging green and smart grid technology in China through public-private partnerships at the local level. This event was refreshing as it discussed a different method of deploying these technologies that didn’t involve a large central government initiative.
A week later we went to a panel at the Washington Center on green technologies and environmental issues that gave a wider view of these issues with panelist from an NGO, a carbon trading investment group, the Department of Energy, and wind energy. Obviously many people are interested in these technologies but has there been any deployment? I was given the answer to this question when I received a tariff request at work for five different HS codes to assemble a wind power turbine tower in Mexico to be exported from the United States.

- UW Making the Difference: Careers in Federal Government is the name of our chapter of a nationwide effort to promote federal employment as a wise choice after graduation. The federal government is hiring — there's probably an agency that needs you just as much as you need it. Core to our efforts to promote federal careers are incredible UW students with federal experience, who have stepped-up into Student Ambassador roles. These students help our overall programming efforts and serve as resources for other students considering federal careers.
