Former President Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker Wednesday — Earth Day — at Fortune Magazine’s Brainstorm Green conference at the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point.
The conference is closed to the public, but will be covered by the Register and other news outlets.
The conference is billed as a green business event, and Clinton is expected to talk about the green industry as well as the new initiatives of the Obama administration to promote green practices and a green economy.
The audience will be made up of about 300 business leaders.

The only “Green” he wants is speaking fees.
I celebrated Earth Day by having a barbeque and going for a drive.
Closed to the public?
How can I get a day pass from the OCR.
I can do some reporting. PLEASE!!!
I’d like to go, he’ll be in my neighborhood and I can’t meet him.
It does seem appropriate for Bill Clinton to speak on Vladimir Lenin’s 139th birthday.
Shouldn’t he be referred to as “Former president Clinton”, or something like that? I guess it doesn’t really matter, considering who is currently the “president”.
President Bill Clinton?
OCR – you’re so stuck in the 90′s.
Hillary’s going to be here?
Oh yes Bill Clinton, isn’t he that guy who’s known to pick up “trash” all over this country?
How much “green” will Clinton make for speaking at this event?
I’m sure the 4 seasons is ALL about going green. Give me a bloody break.
President Bill Clinton shouldnt it be ex president
“President” Clinton?
So how much is Clinton charging for this boondoggle?
It’s got to be six figures. Plus stay at the Ritz.
I post:
“President Bill Clinton?
OCR is so stuck in the 90′s” and you remove it.
But you approve of comments like these?
So he, his VP and their wives are bad for the environment because they are all fat. Goodness! Has he told Gore yet? What a disgusting bunch!
Good point on the “president” title folks; we’ve adjusted it to former. Tune in her tomorrow after 10:30 for updates on the content of the talk.
