Matt Shields, Sr. Offshore Wind Analyst, NREL | EOPA-CA Climate Emergency & Energy Security Summit

At the summit hosted by the California Energy Commission (CEC), a range of experts will discuss how transitioning to a 100 percent clean energy economy is key to California's prosperity with an equitable transition from fossil fuels.
