The Silicon Valley Energy Summit 2018, at Stanford is June 21. However, Thursday evening May 3,  at the Media Center TV, Palo Alto; I will ask Jim Sweeney, Producer of that event, on camera,  what can we expect from him and his speakers this year.  I will also make the point that, as of now, his event will be the first event where three of my paintings that each interprets one of the six sub goals of California’s Climate Climate Plan will be displayed. Guests are invited to attend the 6PM taping.

Goal 3 of California’s Climate Plan is ‘Double the Energy Efficiency Savings in Existing Buildings.’  Michael Killen, Event Artist is presently studying how to paint that goal and solutions needed,  to attain it. His research led to Dr. Aimee Bailey of the French energy company EDF,  and to Stanford University. This TV show helps decision makers deepen their understanding of Goal # 3, how EDF is helping, and Stanford’s District Heating and Cooling System.

California’s Climate Plan #2 is “Reduce 50% Petroleum in Vehicles 2030.”  In Part 2 of an interview for TV that will be released later this week, Joe Stagner, Exe. Dir. Sustainability and Energy Management, Stanford University; will help introduce the painting to the public. And, Jim Sweeney, Producer of the Silicon Valley Energy Summit 2018, at Stanford will display the work at the event June 21. He will also show two other Michael Killen 6 x 15 foot paintings that interpret tow more objectives of California’s Climate Plan.

In the interview,  Joe Stagner helped me think how we can help California attain goal number #3 of its Climate Plan.  That goal is: “Double the Energy Efficiency Savings in Existing Buildings.”  Viewers who have other related interests that include how to reduce energy costs and emissions will find Joes’ experience valuable.

This TV show/Video is Part 1 of a two part interview.

The news crerates an  opportunity for me to add that the Silicon Valley Energy Summit 2017 at Stanford (June) was first to present ‘Sec. George Shultz’s Climate and Energy Recommendation to the President’ (Trump) in the form of a 6 X 15-foot painting. A month earlier Shultz reviewed the painting and commented on how Trump would react to his plan.

The  Silicon Valley Energy Summit 2018 at Stanford, at this time, will be the first event to present a series of paintings, I am making , on California’s Climate Change Plan.
