On June 28, Grist and energyNOW sponsored a forum on clean energy technology and innovation. It was moderated by energyNOW correspondent Lee Patrick Sullivan and included McKinstry CEO Dean Allen, Ross Macfarlane of Climate Solutions, Bill Rebozo of GridPoint, and me.

It was held at the lovely Elysian Brewery in Seattle’s Capitol Hill, which explains why I’m drinking beer through the whole thing (and explains why I had to run to the bathroom in the middle of the Q&A — a panel first for me!).
