    This session will discuss the future of clean energy policies in the United States and globally. Even before the 2016 Presidential election, the United States had been showing shifts in how green energy policies are implemented and governed with an increase in federal preemption of state and local policies. Since the election, environmental and climate programs have been defunded or restrained, and promises have been made to bring back coal. On the international stage, clean energy agreements have been undone and the United States has fallen even further behind as a clean energy leader. Ironically, this is all happening at a time when consumers and private businesses are demanding more renewable energy. Our distinguished panelists—selected from a call for proposals—will explore these (and other) legal and technical constraints to implementing clean energy policies, and will discuss potential opportunities in this new age of federal preemption and nationalism.

    Business meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 3 at 5:30pm.
