The renewable energy industry has built up in the U.S. in recent years, but even more so in several other countries such as Germany, Spain, India and China. The U.S, may have led the research and development of renewable energy technologies, but are we building our share of the companies and factories to serve the world markets? What will it take to have the U.S. become a major exporter of renewable energy systems? Also, seen the other way, how can the U.S. promote greater use of renewable energy around the world? This session will provide a global perspective on the markets and industry, and also what our government is doing and plans to do in international policy.
