PANEL 3: Accelerating the Clean Energy Economy

Many would suggest that the way we use energy presents serious economic, security and environment challenges. Globally, energy use is expected to increase 49 percent from 2007 to 2035, driven almost entirely by economic growth in the developing world. Energy will become an ever more precious commodity, forcing prices up, increasing security risks and accounting for more carbon emissions. The United States and Delaware cannot afford to ignore its energy challenges or the economic opportunities presented by a rapidly expanding clean energy economy. Over the past decade, clean energy investments, businesses and jobs have increased dramatically around the world. These developments are helping to create whole new industries, enhance security and reduce emissions.

What are some of the trends in clean energy investments which will give us a clue where the opportunities are in Delaware? What are some of the policies needed in Delaware that would assist our efforts in transitioning to Clean Energy sources? Solar, Wind, Clean Coal, Shell Gas, what is out there and what is some of low hanging opportunities for Delaware businesses and its citizens in these industries.

The "Accelerating the Clean Energy Economy" will bring conference attendees up to date on what is going on in the important sector of Delaware’s Clean Energy Economy, where we are and what is needed to further accelerating the "clean economy" in the First State.
