The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Technical Assistance Project (TAP) for state and local officials is offering a Web seminar on how state policies affect the development of markets for renewable energy technologies. Joyce McLaren, senior energy analyst at the DOE National Renewable Energy Laboratory, will present state rankings for renewable energy installations based on factors such as population, gross state product, and resource availability. And McLaren will use these data to make some conclusions of the effectiveness of some state policies.
The presentation will take place Wednesday, November 18, from 3:00 to 4:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, and is titled “State of the States 2009: Renewable Energy Development and the Role of Policy.”
The Web seminar is free of charge, but you must register in advance to obtain a URL for the presentation and call-in phone number. You can register online, find information about the presenters, and read background materials and reports on the TAP Webinar section of the DOE Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program Web site: TAP Webinar.
