Please join the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center on Tuesday, March 20, 2018 from 3:45 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for a lively conversation on the future of solar energy and the role of American leadership.

Solar energy is at an inflection point. It is both the world’s cheapest and fastest-growing power source, but also faces a number of growing challenges, from the resurgence of trade protectionism to the complexities of grid-integration around the world. Some believe that a dominant future for solar energy is right around the corner, while others argue that solar's promise will only be fully harvested by future innovations, in the same way that shale production techniques have up-ended the oil and gas sector. Please join the Atlantic Council for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of solar and the role of American leadership and innovation, featuring Jigar Shah, one of the world's most famous solar entrepreneurs, and Varun Sivaram, whose new book Taming the Sun questions much of the conventional wisdom around solar's future.  

A networking reception will follow the event.
