Audio conference highlights
Renewable energy is a mature sector and is constantly being tested for reliability as the alternative to fossil fuels. The government – both at federal and state level, politicians, entrepreneurs, academics and the media are bombarding the market with information, regulations, incentives, new ideas and technologies.
Most of the time, this information is about the promising future of renewable energy. However, this presentation focuses on the present and covers the basics: concepts and terminology, alternative technologies and their uses, and current trends and solutions. All US States have their own mandates on renewable energy and Congress is considering a federal bill too. In this environment, it is important that consumers, companies and other organizations understand what renewable energy is all about, to support their decision-making process.
This audio conference covers:
- Basics concepts and terminology related to energy
- Mapping and grouping of energy technologies
- Renewable energy technologies, description and 'how do they do that'
- Technology trends
- Is a particular technology, solar or wind, the single solution to our energy problems?
