Audio Archive: Growing Wind Power | What a great webinar this was! The conversation covered a range of topics, from the workforce needed to grow the wind industry, to hotspots of projected growth, to an onshore-offshore debate, to the perils of permitting. This was a great starting point for TEC as we seek to incorporate more coverage of this interesting power source. | 8/15/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Audio Archive: Fukushima and Nuclear Power | Listen to The Energy Collective's panelists as they seek answers to questions raised after Fukushima and discuss nuclear power's role in our energy future. The panel covered topics as wide ranging as the carbon cost of countries' choice to abandon nuclear, what we know about future of nuclear policy internationally, and what to do about nuclear waste. If you missed this webinar live, make sure to listen to it here! Certainly one of the best webcasts TEC has held yet. | 7/8/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Audio Archive: Smarter Grid, Better Demand Response | Most traditional systems for distributing electricity are severely limited by a mismatch between available power and fluctuating consumer demand for power. Often, this results in wasted energy during light load times, and insufficient power during peak times—in the worst cases, leading to brownouts and blackouts. The Energy Collective partnered with several experts in the field and asked the question, what will motivate consumers to adopt smart grid technology and how is the data used?

Is Hydrogen A Bridge to Increased Renewables? | At the Hanover Fair in Germany, I sat down with Dr. Jon Moore of Intelligent Energy, a UK firm that specialized in hydrogen fuel cells. I came to this conversation with a wind/solar/renewable policy background, and limited knowledge of hydrogen technology, except for being aware of criticism it receives from competing renewable energy advocates. Dr. Moore debunked many of these criticisms in the interview you can listen to below. | 4/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Audio Archive: The eMobility Challenge | Electric vehicles offer a major opportunity for more energy-efficient transportation, as well as reduced dependency on carbon-producing fuels. However, the cars themselves are only half the solution. We must create a new charging infrastructure to get those cars the power they need. In this webcast, The Energy Collective explored the challenge and opportunity of widespread EV adoption. Our expert panelists discussed the various charging network options and their impact on the electric grid. | 3/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Audio Archive: Beyond the Meter - The Next Smartgrid | The modernization of electrical grids presents an opportunity to improve the efficient use of energy through analytics of energy consumption data. Uses of this data can go well beyond efficiency and flexible pricing programs. Energy consumption data is a potential goldmine of knowledge about consumers. And this means that utilities, energy service providers, consumers, policy and regulatory representatives and vendors have interests in access, use, and storage of this data. This webinar, hosted by The Energy Collective, answered some of these questions and many others. Listen or download below! | 9/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Audio Archive: Gulf Oil Spill and What it Means for US Energy | A month after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon and into the ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the full environmental costs of the disaster remain unclear. However, some of the event's implications for the oil industry, the political environment, and the future of energy in the United States are already beginning to take shape. With the help of a panel of industry and policy experts, The Energy Collective explored the circumstances that led to the Gulf oil disaster, and dig into its potential ramifications, for offshore drilling and much more | 6/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Buy American: Bad for America | A long list of global companies warned the Obama administration in a letter [PDF] that a "Buy American" provision in the $787-billion economic stimulus package would make it harder to get the money out the door to create jobs. Turns out they were right. The Buy American regulations are complicating life for business, slowing down construction-ready projects and sparking trade tensions with, of all places, Canada. | 10/14/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
