How Can Texas Win in the New Energy Economy?
Plan
NOW to join Austin Energy and the Clean Energy Incubator for the
second annual Clean Energy Venture Summit, “How Can Texas Win in the
New Energy Economy?” scheduled December 2-4th, 2008
in Austin, Texas. The Summit will bring together
leading voices from the energy, business and policy worlds to address
the low-carbon world’s economic impact on Texas.
Texas produces more carbon than any other state. In fact, if it
were once again an independent country, it would be the
8th largest greenhouse gas emitting economy on the planet.
Therefore, the potential economic disruption created by carbon pricing
threatens to be greater in Texas than anywhere else...
conversely, the economic opportunities will also be larger here than
elsewhere.
The conference agenda is
designed to provide unparalleled insight into the changing landscape of
a carbon constrained Texas that will result in carbon market
“winners” and “losers”- some market segments will gain favor and market
share while others will lose economic opportunity.
A
series of moderated panel discussions will focus on the impact and
investment opportunities of a national carbon policy on the major
carbon producing industries in Texas: power generation,
energy & petrochemical, agriculture and transportation. Daily keynote
addresses by industry leaders and investors will educate the audience
on business decisions and financial models that have already had a
profound effect. State and local leaders will discuss their responses
to the new legislation. And of course, meals and social mixers
round out your opportunities to learn, influence, educate and associate
with peers from around the country.
After
hours, Austin's legendary hospitality awaits. Unwind on miles of
hike and bike trails, toast new friends in a quiet curbside pub or
venture through the world famous 6th Street entertainment
district. Whatever your pleasure, there is plenty to do in "The Live
Music Capital of the World".
