\"\"<\/a>Next week renewable energy advocates and policy makers will come together for Texas Energy Independence Week<\/a> at the Texas Capitol.\u00a0 The event, put together by the Texas Renewable Energy Industries Association<\/a> (TREIA) will allow industry, advocacy groups and academics to connect with policy makers and staff on how Texas can better realize their opportunities in developing the renewable energy market and reaping the economic rewards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I will be moderating a panel on Wednesday, February 23 from 3:45pm-5:00pm<\/a>.\u00a0 I will be speaking with representatives from Applied Materials<\/a>, American Electric Technologies<\/a> and SolarCity<\/a>about making the business case for renewables in Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like your help in leading the discussion.\u00a0 What questions would you ask of these business leaders?\u00a0 Comment below or tweet your questions to @EDFtx<\/a> before the panel on February 23, 2011 and I\u2019ll select a few of the best to ask our panelist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even if you can\u2019t make it to the panel, this is a great opportunity to expand the discussion of promoting renewable energy development in Texas and maybe you will spark an idea no one has thought of before.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll update my blog after the panel with highlights from the discussion and answers to some of your questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Below is information about the panelists and a link to more information on Texas Energy Independence Week.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
