Energy Efficiency : Where are the opportunities? April 23, 2009

From Computers to Cars and Homes to Data Centers, so much has been talked about energy efficiency over the past two decades, but the impact of the innovations in the energy efficiency space is yet to deliver its true promise. While thereﾒs no doubt that several things have improved, the question still remains if these actions are enough or if drastic new technology and innovation are needed to make a significant impact on energy efficiency.

Join a panel of experts as they discuss and debate issues such as:
* How come energy efficiency is such a tough sell?
* Where is the low hanging fruit in efficiency right now? How much can be accomplished without major retrofits?
* What's on President Obama's energy agenda that's going to garner attention?
* What role does carbon legislation play?
* EE has primarily been driven by legislation in the past. Will that continue to be the case and what sort of legislation--fiat regulations, incentives--work
* Where are the investors focused on? Where are they putting their money now?
* How much do you fear that EE will fade away if power and gas prices stay low?
* Where are the opportunities for entrepreneurs and what role do they play?

Panelists include :

* Micah Myers, Claremont Creek Ventures
* Barbara Grant, American River Ventures
* Suboth Bapat, Vice President, Sun Microsystems
* Jim Parks, Program Manager - Energy Efficiency, SMUD
* Michael Kanellos, Editor in Chief, Greentech Media will moderate the panel
