As Silicon Valley goes green, come explore whether the "next big thing" revolves around alternative energy. Is Ethanol just the subsidy business everyone says it is, or does Vinod have a crystal ball? Can wind energy and wave energy scale? How will the fledgling solar industry cut costs by half over the next three years to be competitive with coal-fired electricity, in the face of wildly rising demand and prices for poly-silicon? Do other solutions have a prayer of making a short-term difference in energy consumption? Come explore these questions and more with a expert panel.
