The energy landscape is changing fast, and the decisions made today will shape our region’s climate resilience and economic vitality for generations to come.The SLO Chamber’s Insight Studio is bringing together a distinguished panel of subject matter experts to pull back the curtain on three of the most consequential clean energy technologies of our time: small modular reactors, wind energy generation, and battery storage systems. As California and our region accelerate toward ambitious electrification goals, understanding what’s actually coming, and what it means for our businesses and communities, has never been more important. Each panelist will share their expert assessment and forward-looking vision, followed by a facilitated discussion that digs into the big questions at the intersection of technology, policy, and economic opportunity. You’ll also have the chance to ask the questions on your mind directly to the people who know this space best.
If you care about where our energy comes from, what it costs, and what it means for the future of the Central Coast, this is the room you need to be in.
