Supply & Demand Realities
|
|
|
Demand for energy relentlessly expands, while fuel sources are inevitably derailed by politics, natural disasters or operational errors. Furthermore, Middle East unrest, forces the necessary question: How can we establish energy stability to soften the impact of another disruption in the global energy supply? This roundtable will explore the complexities of supply & demand and their implications in 2012 and beyond. Discussions will touch on:
- Fossil Fuels, Natural Gas and Biofuels: Will oil prices remain high or natural gas lose its “cheap and abundant” appeal? How realistic are expectations that cleaner sources can have an impact on replacing oil supply?
- Nuclear: Will public fear derail a renaissance or will the zero-emissions power source endure?
- Renewables: Still facing intermittency, storage and scalability challenges, do renewables swell in the shadow of 2011’s disasters?

The Green Economy
|
|
|
The fundamentals of a Green Economy will influence challenges and opportunities for clean energy. Technology increasingly allows us to be smarter about consumption, but what do conservation incentives do to the bottom line? Do global politics motivate a more efficient economy or create knee-jerk reactions? This roundtable will explore:
- Environment vs. Economics: Can industry profit when consumers conserve?
- End-Use Technologies: Hybrid, Electric and alternative fuel vehicles
- Global Geopolitical Implications
- What’s next for Smart Energy?
John Joyce, President & CEO, Ambient Corp (Moderator)
