Renewable energy not in the news 04092020 finalTony Green
Considering climate change, the Green New Deal, the upcoming presidential election, and now the outbreak of the Coronavirus there has little news about renewable energy. While not in the headlines Renewable Energy technologies had been quietly added, slowly but surely moving to a world which produces its energy without fossil fuels. But adoption is not guaranteed, and certain things need to happen before the renewable energy future which has been promised can become a reality.

Opportunities for Women in US Renewables... and Getting Them ThereLeslie Martel Baer
The energy industries will see the largest business investments of any industry in the coming decades... and that means jobs. The opportunities in renewables and clean energy will grow particularly fast. How can women, who are historically under-represented in STEM professions leverage this growth and be a part of the energy boom? Four panelists who have made energy their careers will share their insights into how it's done now, what policies would help place more women in energy, and what we can expect in the future, including women from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Tristate Generation & Transmission Association, and the US Department of Energy.
While Machiavelli’s reputation is that of a ruthless political advisor and theorist, UT Professor Maurizio Viroli — recognized as the world’s leading authority on his life and writings — insists his legacy is misconstrued.
Viroli, who taught at Princeton before joining the Liberal Arts faculty at UT, cautions that before dissecting Machiavelli’s writings, one thing above all must be remembered: He aimed to inspire and instruct great political leaders, not the ordinary or mediocre. “If we want to apply his counsel to business, it must be to inspire great leaders — a prince of business.” Can it be done?
The McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin hosted a series of business forecasts for 2017 in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas.

The latest UT Energy Poll shows Americans are choosing the planet over their pocketbooks.
After a year of lower gas prices, consumers are more optimistic about America’s energy future. They’re also turning more attention to energy’s environmental impacts and want the federal government to get busier investing in renewables and other energy sources.
In Austin, there are two types of madness in the month of March: the basketball kind (go Horns) and South by Southwest.
SXSW Interactive is a haven for business, tech, health care, and startup communities to flourish and spread ideas. Last year, more than 32,000 people from 80 countries attended and heard more than 2,300 speakers discuss the latest trends and buzzworthy technology. In other words, it can get overwhelming for the uninitiated.
