Crowds flock to Greenbuild conference
Thousands packed the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center today for the opening of the Greenbuild International Conference & Expo, a trade show run by the nonprofit US Green Building Council.
Organizers said early numbers show that the conference has attracted at least 25,000 attendees.
"We maxed out the conference hall, and with how big the BCEC is that shows something, and that is that people are getting it," said Kimberly Lewis, the council's vice president of conferences and events. Lewis said more than 800 companies are represented at the expo.
By late morning, traffic was backed up outside the convention center as attendees navigated around delivery trucks and cabs. Inside the convention center on Summer Street, participants browsed displays for products ranging from solar-tube lighting to eco-friendly toilets.

This attendance shows the idiots in the media and the moron spokesman for Obama are once again wrong by proclaiming that we (Americans) will forget about alternative energy sources and ways to conserve energy now that oil is reasonably priced once again. The efforts by the do nothing democrat congress should be to incentivize the pursuit of alternative energy sources. Help make it affordable to the rank and file American. But their approach will be to offer a disincentive approach by adding excessive taxes to gasoline, for instance, to discourage it's use. This penalizes the very folks they claim they want to help. What these agenda driven, partisan crooks (how many live paycheck to paycheck like us...since they arrived in Washington) haven't figured out is that this approach has never worked.
