The good news is the goal of meeting energy consumption demands is achievable. The Generation Summit, February 26-28, at The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island, Florida, will provide a case study perspective from the top power players, explaining their solutions and strategies for overcoming the obstacles and profiting from the competitive market. Companies that can continue to meet the increasing power demands by streamlining and effectively maintaining their capital and human assets will be able to put a stronghold on a larger market share of the raw materials needed to generate power, and moreover, benefit financially from this predictable growth in energy demand.

Dan's presentation will address the increasing popularity of nuclear as an energy alternative, in the eyes of both the utility and financial industries, in the wake of skyrocketing natural gas prices. The government and the industry are engaging in activity to determine how to achieve a successful roadmap to build new fleets of nuclear energy plants. The industry will be relying on the new Energy Bill to encourage financial commitment to assist nuclear development. Just how willing is the power generation industry to commit to development? How willing is the finance community to fund the future of nuclear? And how effectively can NRC NRC abbr. 1. National Research Council 2. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Noun 1.
