CARE Foundation and

Southern California Edison Company

Alternative Energy Workshop

Thank you to our Sponsors:

The CARE Foundation hosted its Spring 2011 Alternative Energy Workshop, presented by Southern California Edison at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), on Saturday, May 14. Over 100 students, teachers, business leaders, community members and friends attended this exclusive event and got an inside look at the exciting SONGS facility during a day to remember filled with fun and food.

This workshop involved speakers on alternative energy and power issues with a focus on near term solutions. As part of its Technology Initiative, the CARE Foundation hopes to inspire students to learn more about science and technology through various events focused on these industries. The event was also sponsored by the University of California, Irvine; Internet Marketing Association; Patriots Federal Credit Union; and Sundried Tomato, whose contributions allowed students to attend for free and travel via bus to the event.

The event featured multiple breakout sessions: Speakers Dan Cleavenger and Chris Abel from Southern California Edison discussed nuclear energy; Nicholas Voelpel, also from Southern California Edison, spoke on electric vehicles; and Dr. Tim Brown, from UC Irvine's Advanced Power and Energy Program, spoke on the future of energy. Guests also toured the SONGS mechanical laboratory where they received hands-on demonstrations of the mechanical equipment used at SONGS, as well as an in-depth radiation shielding demonstration
