Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) and Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) will join a panel of leading experts from academia and industry, including Chad Holliday, Former CEO of DuPont and current Chairman of Bank of America, Mark Fulton, Managing Director of Deutsche Bank and Bo Kong, Professor of Energy, Resources and Environment at Johns Hopkins University to explore China's energy investment strategies and the global quest to dominate the trillion-dollar market for clean energy technology.
Moderated by Annie Lowrey of Slate Magazine, the discussion will provide answers to the following questions:
1) Why has China recently outperformed the U.S. in building and deploying clean energy technologies?
2) What is inhibiting the U.S. from competing with China in the clean energy race?
3) How can leaders empower and grow the domestic energy economy here at home?
This event coincides with the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions' release of a policy brief on the U.S. and China's competition for clean energy as well as Third Way's release of a series of fact sheets on how China emerged as a powerhouse in clean energy manufacturing, deployment and finance and innovation.
