C2ST Presents:
Exelon 2020 � In Pursuit of More Sustainable Energy
January 10, 2009

Norm Hansen plans to attend John Rowe's, Exelon Chairman and CEO, presentation on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at the Palmer House Hilton. The Chicago Council on Science and Technology, a new not-for-profit organization representing the interests of the scientific community of metropolitan Chicago, is sponsoring the event.

�Exelon Chairman and CEO John Rowe will outline the five elements he believes are imperative to the next U.S. president's energy policy. Rowe will provide recommendations for development of the nation's energy policy framework, an issue that will define the success of the next administration and this nation in the next four years and beyond. He will discuss the important role of science and technology in driving innovation to create new low-carbon energy solutions. In the address, Rowe also will explain Exelon's own comprehensive plan for addressing climate change, Exelon 2020: A Low Carbon Roadmap, which will reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. This is more than the company's current annual carbon footprint and the equivalent to taking nearly 3 million cars off the roads.�
