Series Description:

SDForum, in conjunction with Astia, has launched its 2008 Clean Tech Breakfast Series for a third year in a row. You are invited to attend the fourth breakfast: "Energy Storage" to take place July 29th at 8:00 am to 10:00 am in Silicon Valley, at AMD. We are pleased to announce that The Clean Tech Breakfast Series is being sponsored by Nixon Peabody and Moss Adams.

Topic Description:

Energy storage is relevant to all of the following areas: chemical, electrochemical, electrical, mechanical and thermal energy. Two of the most popular areas for discussion are water storage and electrical storage. There are several current storage methodologies in use in each of these areas. This panel will touch on some of the currently used methods as well as new technologies currently being researched or tried around the country.

Energy storage has many critical roles to play in securing our energy future. Among the issues we will address in this session are:

* What are the pros and cons of a national (or state) electrical storage system much like the national Petroleum Reserve?
* What programs are developing for the storage of solar and wind power?
* Would an electric power storage system help to stabilize electricity markets?
* Would an emphasis on energy storage make renewable energy more economically viable and more widely used?
