Ben Luce, a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is Director of the New Mexico Coalition for Clean Affordable Energy.
Discussant: Jessika Trancik, SFI Postdoctoral Fellow
New Mexico has made significant progress over the past decade adopting strong renewable energy incentives and requirements; these in turn have led
to significant solar, wind, and biomass development in the state. Luce explains some of these cutting-edge technologies, including new wind power and
large-scale “concentrating solar power” technologies, some of which could be providing a large fraction of New Mexico’s power in the near future. He
will also describe new photovoltaic (solar electric) technologies, including some that almost completely diminish the need for costly materials such as
silicon. On the policy side he will discuss the continuing implementation of the state’s Renewable Energy Standard along with associated tax incentives
and other energy legislation
