Created by the Aspen Global Leadership Network and Henry Crown Fellows, the Aspen Institute Energy and Environment Awards recognize and reward excellence for those making significant contributions to innovation, implementation, and communication of energy and environmental solutions.
The winners- all organizations and people who are making the biggest strides, acting as leaders, catalysts, and educators, particularly at the critical nexus between energy and environmental problems and solutions - are:
Corporate Energy Generation - SolarCity
Corporate Energy Conservation - Serious Materials
Innovation in Government - State of California Energy Office's Million Solar Roofs Initiative

The Energy and Environment Awards, which are meant to celebrate success and provoke conversation, are part of the Aspen Environment Forum, a gathering of more than 300 thought leaders that will take place from March 26-30, 2008, at the Aspen Meadows Resort and Conference Center in Colorado (visit www.aspenenvironment.org for more information). Designed to stimulate open-minded dialogue, the forum is an opportunity for thought and conversation about the environment across a broad array of topics. Environmental experts, scientists, economists, business leaders, journalists, authors, and interested consumers will examine the state of the planet and share their ideas for the future.
The Forum will conclude with the debut of the Aspen Energy and Environment Awards for excellence in communications, contributions to innovation, and environmental solutions.
