Hi Mike,
Sorry for the delay, I'm traveling today. Unfortunately, I can't provide a statement on this, but are you writing a story, what's the focus?

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your email. Can you provide me with a comment about what Google was asking other
companies to support, in terms of promoting growth of renewable energy, and how the other members of
ALEC responded? I have spoken with Chris Taylor, a state legislator from Wisconsin who told me that
Michael, on behalf of Google and other technology companies, asked ALEC to do more to promote
renewables, but that the proposal was quickly dismissed by other legislators and representatives from
energy companies.

Hi Mike,
I'm sorry but Michael is not available for an interview on this. If you're looking for details on
our renewable energy programs, You can find them on google.com/green or I can answer
some general questions.
Thanks,
eric

Hello,
Hello,

Im trying to track down Michael Terrell, the senior energy policy counsel at Google, for an interview
regarding the companys renewable energy strategy.
In particular, Id like to talk to him about the proposal that Google and other technology companies
attempted to make in order to promote renewable energy growth at a recent meeting hosted in Dallas,
Texas by the American Legislative Exchange Council.

Would he be available for an interview Thursday or Friday? Or are you able to send me an email address
for him so that I can ask him questions by email?

Thanks very much,

Mike De Souza
