The Future Energy Landscape: Innovation, Investment - Joan's Tulane Energy Forum 2026 Panel
Tuesday, 13 October, 2026
"Successful energy innovations can have outsize economic and social outcomes, impacting industrial competitiveness, trade, environmental health, infrastructure investment and security," according to the International Energy Agency's State of Energy Innovation 2026 report. They added that "spending on energy represent(s) as much as 10% of global GDP" and that "one in ten patents is related to energy – more than for chemicals, pharmaceuticals or transport." Joan Michelson at her Tulane Energy Forum Panel Our entire economy depends on energy. Yet, we find ourselves in both an energy crunch and some of the most innovative energy technologies being developed. What are the most promising energy technologies and where's the money coming from for them? Listen to Electric Ladies Host Joan Michelson's panel at the Tulane Energy Forum 2026 recently with policy expert Heather Reams, formerly of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES), fusion and nuclear expert Ben Byboth of Commonwealth Fusion Systems, transmission expert Michelle Bourg of Entergy and energy industry expert Kevin Book of Clearview Energy Partners. You'll hear about: · What technologies they think are undervalued and underfunded. · Funding for energy innovation, including markets and the role of government · What the condition is of the grid, the backbone of the energy infrastructure. · What kind of workforce the energy industry needs today. · Plus, insightful career advice "I think as we go forward, the solution space is going to require integrated cross-discipline thinking where people are able to come together and collaborate.…and the people that can facilitate those types of conversations and then work to then solve the problems that occur when those things come together, those are the biggest things. Can you drive collaboration and can you solve problems? And if you can do those things and you're a highly valuable person in the energy space. And the last thing I say is just get a diverse set of experiences."
