Meets with industry, Administration officials and calls for increased funding forclean energy development
Dozens of women leaders from companies like Goldman Sachs, Siemens and Dow Jones joined Pingree and three of her colleagues as well as a group of top Administration officials to share success stories and discuss challenges to financing projects that address climate change. At the White House, Pingree talked about the success of the Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC) in Maine in developing a new form of tidal energy technology. But she said like any clean energy company, unpredictable government policy makes it challenging for ORPC to obtain funding. |
