The San Antonio Clean Technology Forum is planning a Smart Grid presentation during a
luncheon on September 9, 2010.
This forum will be held in Southwest Research Institutes’ newest conference center that features some of the best Audio/Visual presentation equipment in the nation.
Opening comments by:
Dr. Les Shephard – Executive Director, UTSA’s Texas Sustainable Energy Research Institute
Our presenters will be:
Cris Eugster - Chief Sustainability Officer, CPS Energy
Corey King - Manager System Security and High Reliability Software
Section Automation and Data Systems Division
Brewster McCracken - Executive Director, Austin's Pecan Street Project
Please mark your calendars now for this September 9 event. The good news is that our topic, the presenters, and the venue are not to be missed. The bad news is that seating is limited and we will very likely not be able to accommodate all interested participants. So please plan to register early.
We will open our web site www.sacleantech.org for registration within the week.
A recent GE survey of U.S. consumers, conducted by StrategyOne, involved 1,000 people reached by phone nationwide. Among other things, it found that of those who are familiar with the term "smart grid," 80 percent believe it will help the country make better use of clean energy sources, 74 percent believe it will help them make better decisions about energy use, and 72 percent believe it will save them money.
