Profiting from AB 32

GreenTechMedia: "'This is going to be about how to make money,' greentech entrepreneur and former California Assembly Speaker Robert Hertzberg announced to the midday plenary. The subject was actually how to make money under the regulation of California’s AB 32, the most far-sighted U.S. climate change law to date, and California’s nation-leading 33%-by-2020 Renewable Portfolio Standard."

Transmission Challenges

GreenTechMedia: "Californians gathered in Los Angeles for the fourth annual VerdeXchange, a business-to-business cross-platform cleantech conference, seemed a little dazed this year, caught between the exhilaration of having a standard requiring utilities to obtain a third of their power from renewable energy by 2020 and panic at having to implement such a standard."
