Burns met with President Barack Obama at the White House today to discuss how businesses are innovating to create a green economy and stimulate job growth in the U.S.The meeting was the latest in a series of small-scale roundtables that the President is hosting and included Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, and several other CEOs of renewable energy companies at the White House.Burns was invited in recognition of the leadership role Dow Corning has staked in the solar energy field, demonstrated by the more than $5 billion in solar investments the company and its joint ventures at the Hemlock Semiconductor Group have announced over the past five years to research, develop and expand production of materials critical to solar cell manufacturing, solar module assembly and installation.“Solar energy is a clean, efficient and readily available technology that with the right support could help transform America’s energy, environmental and economic future,” Burns said, according to a news release. “To make America a 21st century solar power, we need smart and effective government policies that will help the private sector grow, thrive and create thousands of new jobs.The trip to Washington was the second in as many weeks for Burns and other Dow Corning representatives to discuss solar energy policy with government officials.
