Renewable Energy & The Smart Grid
On February 8, 2010, Will Steger and Terry Gips discussed the economic opportunities for clean energy solutions in Minnesota.
They emphasized the importance of strong carbon emission limits and questioned what factors are hindering progress in these vital areas.
Oregon aimed for 25% renewable energy use by 2020, establishing itself as a global hub for solar manufacturing.
SolarWorld in Hillsboro exemplifies this leadership. With over 2,700 employees, the company is recognized as one of the world's largest solar energy businesses.
The "Race for American Jobs: Clean Energy Leadership" was a four-week, coast-to-coast virtual campaign by BICEP, in partnership with We Can Lead. It aimed to highlight the economic and job-creation benefits of national climate and energy legislation, advocating for investment in a low-carbon economy and establishing a carbon price.
The campaign engaged business leaders nationwide through events in Oregon, Colorado, Ohio, and New Hampshire, concluding in Washington on March 10. Each event featured panel discussions with major consumer brands and local clean economy entrepreneurs, contributing to thought leadership in Sustainability, Clean Tech, and Energy in 2010.
Todd Reeve of the Portland, Oregon-based Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) discusses the organization's three core program areas: climate change and renewable energy initiatives; educating K-12 students on climate and energy; and long-term watershed restoration.
