Kick off - Bernie Karl

The geothermal power wizard of Alaska will be the kickoff speaker October 7 at 9 a.m. Bernie will also conduct a workshop about the many alternative energy projects based at his Chena Hot Springs Resort outside Fairbanks. A former construction worker, mechanic, gold miner and honest-to-goodness Green Economy pioneer, Bernie finished first by a long shot in a survey of favorite attractions at the 2009 Green Expo. Learn more about Bernie and his revolutionary geothermal power plant here  and here  and about Chena Hot Springs here.

Earn a Trip to Chena - Bernie was named the 2010 Alaska business person of the year by students at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks because of his many contributions to education including his annual Renewable Energy Fair. Reflective of that commitment, Bernie is donating three free days and nights for two at the Chena Hot Springs Resort. The trip will be awarded to a teacher participating in the Expo who makes the best proposal for incorporating the experience into a learning activity with their students. Learn more at the Green Expo.
