We plan to attend as many panel discussions as possible, with a slight bias for those focusing on project finance. Speaking today at one such panel, called “Financing renewable energy: after the stimulus,” are Raymond Wood of Credit Suisse and Mit Buchanan of JP Morgan Capital.<\/p>\n For this panel GER will try something new: A Live Tweet!

For the past eight years secretive Bloom Energy has been developing this energy storage devise, raising $400 million in VC funding along the way. The company started lifting the veil on its box Sunday with a feature on 60 Minutes. Correspondent Lesley Stahl best described the technology as \u201ca little power plant in a box.\u201d Check out the Bloom Energy Web site<\/a>, which as we write,\u00a0has a ticking clock counting down the hours until the official launch.<\/p>\n In Washington expect some feedback — both positive and negative — on the Senate version of the climate change and energy bill drafted by Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.)<\/a>. The bill received a 100 percent rating from the League of Conservation Voters and Senator Kerry now seems ready to introduce his legislation for a full vote.<\/p>\n In the UK Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband\u2019s (#1 in our January Top Ten Players in Green Energy<\/a>) Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) policy faces a major test in the House of Commons. A group of rebel Labor MPs are threatening to vote against the green bill because its provisions blocking future coal-fired power plants, they say, are not robust enough, writes BusinessGreen.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Today, we are in Austin, Texas (and no, we’re not attending South by Southwest, that’s next month) for Renewable Energy World’s\u00a0North America Conference.
