Green drinks Phnom Penh
This month, Frank Visciano, who was with the United States Department of Energy (DOE) until last week, will tell us about the the US clean energy programme ($80 Billion).
Frank: ‘Of the nearly $800 billion stimulus package signed into law by President Obama in 2009, nearly $80 billion was targeted for clean energy. For the last two months, I worked with the team within the DOE responsible for overseeing the implementation of this program. My particular focus was on electric vehicle infrastructure deployment strategy and advanced biofuels commercialization, but I will endeavor to give a broad picture of the state of clean energy policy in the US as it relates to ARRA.’
Frank is doing an MBA at Stanford university and was American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Fellow at the United States Department of Energy during the past months. Frank now is doing a project with Kamworks.
The presentation will be followed by informal discussions and, of course, a few drinks…
