The Green Energy Revolution

In cooperation with the Goethe Institut Washington, DC

Energy entirely from renewable sources, accessible to everyone, affordable and clean. Utopia? Not quite. Germany is expected to exceed its target of reaching 30% power from renewable energies by 2020. But how far away is an energy economy that is based on 100% renewable energies?  Is there a tradeoff between local generation and regional integration? And is the way forward one of energy independence or a stronger collaboration among regions and countries? Please join us for this transatlantic discussion.

Speakers:
Ralf Fücks, President, Heinrich Böll Foundation
Chris Flavin, President, Worldwatch Institute

Moderation:
Jennifer Morgan, Director of Energy and Climate Program, World Resources Institute
