Want to learn more about how clean energy will strengthen the US economy by creating millions of green jobs in the US? Come join NRDC, the Blue Green Alliance and many other organizations at the Green Jobs, Good Jobs conference May 4-6 in Washington, D.C.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Colorado Governor Bill Ritter are among the many top-line speakers who will address the leaders from labor, business and the environmental communities working to transform ideas into action by building a green economy that creates good jobs and preserves our economic and environmental security.

The 2010 Conference will feature exciting plenary sessions and keynote speeches from labor, environment, business, elected and administration officials, including Speaker Pelosi, Governor Ritter, U.S. EPA Deputy Administrator Bob Perciasepe, and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.

The two-and-a-half-day Conference will also feature more than 100 workshops focused on topics ranging from green manufacturing to transportation to business, investment and new markets to state and local initiatives. Among the speakers at these panels include Dr. Paul Anastas, Assistant Administrator for the Office of Research and Development at the U.S. EPA; Dr. David Michaels, the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health; Robert Stanton, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Policy, Management and Budget; U.S. Representatives Keith Ellison and Emanuel Cleaver; and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.
