Sunrise Solar joins energy leadership in Washington

1 June 2009

Sunrise Solar Corp. president Maurice Stone, the chairman of the Energy Committee of the National Black Chamber of Commerce is working with members of Congress and the leaders of a number of national agencies and associations to provide a voice for small business in designing America’s new energy policies.

‘Maurice Stone, NBCC Energy Committee Chairman, and I have been meeting with various associations and organizations in Washington, DC discussing the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 H.R. 2454, commonly referred to as the Waxman/Markey or Climate Change Bill, and its effects on green jobs and the economy,’ said Harry Alford, president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the Regulatory Committee of the US Chamber of Commerce. ‘We expect a lot of debate in the House and very robust debate in the senate regarding this important bill.’

The National Black Chamber includes corporations including energy stalwarts Chevron and Exxon telecom giant AT&T and financial house Wells Fargo.

‘We expect to lead, not follow, in the development of energy policy in the US,’ said Stone. ‘We believe the interests of our company and its shareholders are best served if we have a voice at the table when energy policy decisions are being made.’

Sunrise Solar Corporation intends to commercialise and distribute cutting edge alternative solar energy technologies and equipment.
