Conference: Financing Wind Power: The Future of Energy
There are tremendous opportunities presenting themselves in the wind energy field. Although less than one percent of the nation's electricity is currently supplied by wind power, experts have concluded that with today's technology there is-theoretically- enough wind power potential in the United States to supply all of the Nation's electricity, and sufficient wind for commercial power production can be found in at least 46 states. The Bush administration has also stated that wind energy can provide as much as 20 percent of the Nation's energy needs. Given America's focus on the environment and its quest for alternative energy sources, legislative and administrative proposals are pending that could make this a reality.
This three-day conference will focus on:
-current debt and tax credit equity structures for wind financing, providing a solid understanding of how deals come together;
-up-to-date information on pending legislation and current federal and state policies for wind energy;
-techniques for minimizing permitting, zoning, environmental, and other regulatory roadblocks;
-best practices for financing, warranties, and debt and tax structuring, including addressing investor concerns;
-special issues and tactics for locally owned, locally beneficial community wind projects; and
-methods for raising capital to fuel wind energy companies.
When: Wednesday, May 7, 2008 2:00 PM - Friday, May 9, 2008 12:00 PM
Where: The Phoenician; 6000 East Camelback Road; Scottsdale, Arizona 85251; 800-888-8234

Environmental Valuation & Cost-Benefit News
Environmental Valuation & Cost Benefit News covers legal, academic, and regulatory developments pertaining to the valuation of environmental amenities and disamenities, such as clean air, trees, parks, congestion, and noise. We apprise the reader about ways in which costs and benefits are measured, and the results of empirical studies. We hope that this information will allow public and private organizations to comprehend the risks and benefits of various actions, help disputants to resolve conflicts equitably and efficiently, and improve the quality of public policies. We will only discuss issues related to the empirical quantification of private and social costs and benefits and damages, and summarize information from daily newspapers, academic journals, legal publications, court decisions, professional newsletters commissioned studies, and on-line services. This newsletter is dedicated to the principal that all policies place values upon life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We believe that more information, explicit specification of assumptions, and rigorous analysis can help our society to better meet these ends. This site will increasingly serve, in conjunction with others, as a valuation database. We will include a wide range of studies, including non-environmental reports, because omission of a factor effectively values it at zero, and biases decisions. Heavy traffic has caused several site crashes. We are attempting to correct these problems. Apologies for any inconvenience.
