Who is "Cascadia"? They are part of the infamous "Discovery Institute" (defenders of Creationism and Intelligent Design) which causes me to be very distrustful of the group.

There is an energy conference at Microsoft on Sept 4-5 sponsored by Cascadia. Interestingly, they have excluded one of the strongest local proponents and innovators of plug-in hybrid technology, Ed Furia of AFS Trinity, from the conference itself (though, at the governor's request, he'll have his prototype vehicle available for test drives in the parking lot).

It just makes me wonder what the actual AGENDA of this conference is when they go out of their way to exclude someone like Ed.
