Governor Sonny Perdue is in Tifton today to attend a three-day conference on renewable energy. The Southeast Bioenergy Conference is targeting farmers, business people and others looking to jump into the growing renewable energy market. Conference organizers with the University of Georgia say nearly 80 bioenergy companies are considering opening in, or relocating to the state. Georgia is seen to have many untapped bioenergy sources, such as pine forests and byproducts from agriculture.
