Preaching to the COMPETE Choir about clean energy solutions

A little shameless self-promotion: I was in DC last month and sat on a panel discussing how the U.S. can promote clean energy (click “next” to get to me). The bottom line is that competition means innovation means efficiency. And that’s the ballgame, right there — because efficiency means cuts in both global warming and energy costs. The concept is pretty simple.

The talk was put together by an excellent organization called the COMPETE Coalition, and my fellow panelists included representatives from FERC, NDN, and the Galvin Electricity Initiative. The consensus: to truly unleash innovation, government needs to set goals for clean energy and energy efficiency and let markets meet the challenge.
