WINDPOWER Conference & Exhibition 2019

Superpower: Building the Lines to a Clean Energy Economy (Room Power Station)

The rising public and corporate demand for clean energy, coupled with huge advances in technology, is making it clear that our century’s old transmission infrastructure is in need of an upgrade to fit the needs of modern times. Many have recognized this for decades, such as wind energy pioneer, Mike Skelly. Skelly’s innovative efforts to build transmission lines inspired Russell Gold, a journalist for the Wall Street Journal, to capture this bold journey into the future in his soon to be released book, Superpower: One Man's Quest to Transform American Energy. Skelly will join Gold and other pioneers and experts to discuss where the country has been on this infrastructure quest and what the future brings. 

This session is accredited by the State Bar of Texas.
