Last week, I mentioned that we're hosting a workshop:  Reinventing Our Energy Futures.  Yesterday, we kicked things off with a keynote speech by Tony Seba, author of Solar Trillions. Tony has an entrepreneurial/tech background and has been lecturing at Stanford where he teaches clean energy, high tech strategy and finance.

Next week, members of IFTF's Technology Horizons research program will be attending a workshop on alternative energy called Reinventing Our Energy Futures.
