Energy Conference

The Energy Conference was really interesting and probably the most fun to visit out of all the sites especially because we got free food and drinks. But in all seriousness there were a ton of different companies there and it was really interesting to see all of the new types of technology being developed. Some of the things that struck me as really interesting were the flexible solar panels, strangely shaped wind turbines, the the solar truck, and the fact that every solar company was basically looking to either buy another company or sell themselves. I also talked to a woman from Alabama who was their on behalf of her company determining if they would be interested in acquiring the companies there. According to her the solar business is full of a bunch of small start-ups that either crash and fail or get bought out by bigger companies that can handle the fluctuation that comes with this relatively new technology. As for answering the assigned questions, this does not apply to the conference or if it does the answers would be the same as what I wrote about the solar technologies so that is it for this blog post. Oh and if you want to see pictures from it look on this blog as he was in my group and took all the pics from the conference.
