Speakers include former DOE official Dan Reicher of Google.org; the unabashed president of the American Council on Renewable Energy, Michael Eckhart; and the remarkably foresighted Nancy Floyd, founder of all-energy investment firm Nth Power.

Comments
Nancy Floyd asked me whether my description of Mike Eckhart as "unabashed" was positive or negative.
Positive. If you want to hear genuine, unbridled enthusiasm for renewables, or the insightful and unvarnished opinions of energy policy from a long-time industry insider, you should not miss this rare Seattle opportunity to hear Mike speak.
Mike has admirably turned ACORE into a leading influencer in the renewable energy space, and he started long before most people had heard of global warming.
