Point Blue Conservation Science welcomes you to a special Climate Week keynote by David Hochschild, Chair of the California Energy Commission:
Sunrise from the West: California's Leadership in Clean Energy
California has long been where the future begins - and its clean energy transformation is no exception.
While federal priorities have recently shifted toward expanding offshore oil drilling and seabed mineral extraction, California continues to chart a different course.
Chair Hochschild will discuss the state’s commitment to a clean energy future that balances urgent climate goals with the protection of our ecosystems.
The presentation will be followed by a moderated conversation and audience Q&A hosted by KALW radio journalist Rose Aguilar. Topics will include:
- Innovations in offshore wind, solar, energy storage, and grid technology that are reshaping the state’s energy landscape
- The contrast between traditional extraction and new renewable frontiers for energy generation
- How California’s leadership can secure a reliable grid without compromising biodiversity
- Ways state policy, community leadership, and global collaboration are accelerating the clean energy transition in California and beyond
