8:30AM PT. Federal clean tech funding is poised to decline 75 percent by 2014
compared to 2009, according to a recent report from a diverse group of think
tanks titled “Beyond Boom and Bust: Putting Clean Tech on a Path to Subsidy
Independence”. The coming expiration of many policies and subsidies has raised
concerns that the clean tech sector, and the pace of energy innovation in the
U.S., may experience a collapse, much as it has in past years when funding
similarly dried up
Can clean tech survive without subsidies? How can we structure support for
renewable energy to avoid these boom-and-bust cycles?
Join The Energy Collective and a panel of the report’s authors and industry
leaders as they ask:
- How severely will the end of subsidies affect the growth
of clean energy technology? - Which will feel the most impact among the wind,
solar, nuclear, biofuel, and electric vehicle sectors? - Can the industry
sustain itself without funding support from the government? Do more sustainable
policy solutions exist?
