We’re proud to have hosted the editors of six leading clean economy news sites last month. It was the first time they’d convened to discuss trends in the sectors they cover. In our most recent post, we summarized trends the editors followed pre-pandemic and their predictions for how clean economy companies emerge post-pandemic.

However, the panel also focused on the emerging business model for utilities. That topic has received attention from Vox’s David Roberts (here and here), former FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff and Stanford’s Mark Jacobson, to name a few.

We recently brought together six editors of leading clean economy news sites for Tigercomm's first-ever Cleantech Editors Webinar. It was the first time the editors had convened to exchange views. The result was a fun, insightful conversation with nearly 100 people in the audience.

We covered a lot of ground in an hour, leaving several dozen listener questions unanswered. Our conversation focused around these topics: 

• What were the 3 major sector trends you were following before the pandemic?
• How is the global cleantech market growing so quickly, despite COVID-19? 
• What new trends do you see in the wind and solar energy markets? 
• What will the next generation of renewable energy technology look like?  
• How do you see the global cleantech market emerging after the pandemic?

Last Friday, we were honored to have hosted six editors of leading cleantech news sites to join in an hour-long discussion: Recharge’s Darius Snieckus, CleanTechnica’s Zach Shahan, Renewable Energy World’s Jennifer Runyon, Utility Dive’s Catherine Morehouse, GreenBiz’s Heather Clancy and SolarWakeup’s Yann Brandt.
