DESCRIPTION

What a roller coaster ride the last few years have been. We were looking at five dollars a gallon for gasoline and clean energy economics looked incredible. With $100 for a barrel oil the numbers really worked. With $40 for a barrel oil, things were bleak. And here we are back to $79 a barrel. Surely numbers are looking better. Or is it the fact that ‘not in my back yard’ still rules in terms of sites, the grid, access, and credit is scarce?

The panel can comment on both great upsides and rough milestones still to meet. On the positive side, they will discuss the great opportunities they see, talk about the significant financing they have already raised, and great technology accomplishments. On the challenges, they will tell us what remains on the horizon.

On March 16th, the EntreTech Forum presents a triple play of experts. Our panel involves three interwoven tracks of energy:

  • Reducing energy consumption and emissions
  • Wind energy
  • Solar

As ever, the EntreTech forum asks these questions in the context of advanced research emerging from our leading universities and the entrepreneurs and visionaries who are developing the commercial potential of this research.
