In a press conference held last September, Mayor Ed Malloy emphasized the timeliness of this event. “This theme of energy independence is on the lips of everyone. We understand why we have to get there. It’s important for reasons of National security. It’s important for creating a sustainable future for our children, and our grand children, and beyond.” “Something good is definitely happening in terms energy independence and sustainability in Iowa, and in Fairfield specifically” says Mike Love of the Beach Boys. “The Heartland of America is perfectly positioned to lead the world in this energy independence movement.
