I go to clean energy conferences for two reasons. First, these events always have a metanarrative – that is, how industry executives and experts are framing key issues, using the latest bits of jargon or creative euphemism.
The second, and more important reason, is to network and find out what’s really happening on the ground, the micronarratives that focus on the people and stories often flying under the radar.
The metanarrative at the recent Maryland Clean Energy Summit was a regional variation on the narratives I have been hearing at most of the industry conferences for the past year — data centers, demand growth, rising electric bills and President Trump’s war on clean energy.
I’m going to talk about all that later, but I want to start with the micronarratives because the stories here fall into E/lectrify’s Cool News category, while also advancing some outside-the-box thinking on the meta.
