The California Wind Energy Collaborative conducted its fifth annual Forum on December 12 & 13, 2006 at the Silverado Resort in Napa, California. Thank you to all those who attended and stimulated discussion and examination of California's wind industry as it pushes toward the greater capacities mandated by the recently amended Renewables Portfolio Standard. In particular, we are grateful to our speakers and panel moderators, who shared their current and in depth knowledge of the most prevalent issues in wind energy today.
The presentation slides are in PDF format and require Adobe Reader for viewing. The audio recordings are in mp3 format and most likely can be played on your computer without the installation of any additional software.
Access to the roster is limited to registered attendees of the Forum. If you registered for the Forum, the username and password required to access the roster have been already e-mailed to you. Contact forum@cwec.ucdavis.edu if you need the username and password re-sent to you.
