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.

Minnesota is home to intelligent, well-educated people whose approval of Trump is lower than that of toenail fungus.

If Lindell wants to lead a state, he needs to choose one at least 800 miles away. Oklahoma?

He may also want to consider that Trump is easily the most detested person in this nation.

The Existence of God

I wouldn’t say that the burden of proof lies on religion. No one knows how the universe got here.

The Big Bang was an event in which there was no chaos, no “entropy,” as we say in thermodynamics. How did all this orderliness get there 13.87 billion years ago? No one knows. This is an issue in cosmology which is quite likely to outlast human civilization on this planet.

I’m an atheist for a few reasons, one of which is that saying that God created the universe doesn’t get us any closer to an understanding of the cosmos, if only because it raises the question: Who made God?

More to the point, there are hundreds of moral reasons to disbelieve in God. Each year, 9 million children will die unbaptized on this planet before their fifth birthdays. In the bible, we learn that God punishes them all with an eternity of torture in hell. To what sort of weirdo does this make sense?
