Avoiding the Clean Tech Crash:
Can Renewable Energy Achieve Subsidy Independence?
Register Now
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 we ask:
- How severely will the end of subidies 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?
