On 24 March, industry leaders and experts will explore issues related to public energy policies and regional energy markets.
As an illustration of the conflicts that can arise when public policy is not coordinated between countries, a discussion panel will review the restrictions in place in the US state of California as they relate to the definition of renewable energy which would limit the export market for certain types of hydroelectric power from the province of British Columbia.
An afternoon panel will focus on the opportunities and challenges for carbon capture and storage in North America.
Proceedings will be webcast live, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions to the presenters during the event.
In the weeks and days leading up to the event, you can interact with other attendees to discuss the issues in our online forum.
The live webcast begins at 8:30 a.m. Pacific / 11:30 Eastern at: http://www.cec.org/energy2010.
