Cleantech's Competitve Conundrum
When financing cleantech innovation and project development depends on the prices for conventional energy and other resources going up, what happens when the prices go down? What clean technology solutions are becoming competitive against market priced conventional solutions, and as these solutions become commodities, how will investors and entrepreneurs earn extraordinary returns?

The Evolving Grid
Smart electrical grids, from the utility to inside the meter, are just the beginning. How can every element of the urban grid, from energy to water to waste, become smarter and more efficient? How can these various elements benefit from integrated management and integrated retrofits? Where is the grid, in the broadest meaning of the term, going next, and what opportunities does this present for innovators and investors?

The Nuclear Option
The latest technologies to produce nuclear power have come a long way in the past fifty years. What new solutions exist, both at large and small scales, how safe are they, how can they integrate with existing grid, and what does exercising the nuclear energy option mean in terms of either integrating with or obviating other new energy alternatives?

Next Generation Solar
Beyond the usual suspects - monocrystalline, thin film, and solar thermal - have emerged a tantalizing array of even more advanced solar energy technologies. These promise to deliver ongoing reductions in cost and increases in potential. What are these next generation solutions, and how will they compete within the overall energy economy, as well as with today's solar technologies?

Green Mega-Engineering
The cities of the future will integrate every clean technology across every sector - transportation, energy, water, and waste management. They will incorporate high-rise agriculture and massive underground infrastructure. They will continuously evolve and improve, delivering better quality of life every decade. They may even be net exporters of water, energy and food. How will these cities look, and what companies and technologies today are delivering the first building blocks?
