Upcoming Clean Energy Conference Tackles 3 Big Questions

October 10, 2017 By SBC

Nearly everyone agrees the Northwest should transition to the cleanest possible electric system.Ā  But knowing what that system looks like and how to get there forces us to answer 3 difficult questions:

  • How can and should investor-owned utilities be motivated to pursue clean energy?
  • What should the role of natural gas be in our clean energy future?
  • How can we make the transition to a clean energy future equitable for frontline communities and for workers affectedĀ by the decline of fossil fuels?

Debating these and other vital questions will be leaders and experts from business, advocacy organizations, government . . . and, we hope, you as well.

It happens on November 2 in Seattle. Ā Register nowĀ for theĀ Clean & Affordable Energy ConferenceĀ and be part of the conversation the Northwest needs to have.

Then, join the Coalition in the evening for the fantasticĀ Clean Energy Awards Gala, honoring exceptional leaders in advancing clean energy progress in the Northwest. You don’t want to miss this special event and opportunity to support the Coalition’s work!

Register!

Save money ($50) by registering for the conference and gala together! Simply select the combo ticket when you register.
