Intersolar & Energy Storage North America (IESNA) has acquired the Midwest Solar Expo (MWSE).

Jake Rozmaryn, former Midwest Solar Expo executive director, will transition into an advisory role and Sharona Kohn will continue as conference director.

“Midwest Solar Expo was founded to illuminate the future of the renewable energy market in the Midwest and now becomes our second regional expansion following Intersolar & Energy Storage North America Texas, which is set to launch November 19, 2024 in Austin,” says Wes Doane, vice president, Intersolar & Energy Storage North America.

“MWSE’s platform has focused on the intersection of policy, finance, technology and business model innovation in the Midwest, and its growing exhibition targets the region’s specific challenges, offering professionals the tools they need to successfully navigate this ever-changing market.”

This acquisition builds upon IESNA’s prior investment in producer, Diversified Communications. Since acquiring Intersolar North America in 2019, the trade show and conference producer has grown its portfolio to include Energy Storage North America, the Smart Energy Decisions network, Net Zero Forum, Renewable Energy Forum, Intersolar & Energy Storage North America Texas and now Midwest Solar Expo.

Grimes, McGovern & Associates was the exclusive advisor to Midwest Solar Expo in the transaction.

It’s not as if the United States has held the moral high ground throughout its history, with its slavery, the butchering of the Indians, Jim Crow, the support of tyrannical dictatorships around the globe, and the corrupt suppression of the working class in favor of Trump’s billionaire donors.

Yet, it was very recently that the entire nation became a force for the destruction of civil society.

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
