Keynote Speaker Said Geothermal Industry Should Stop Focusing on Tax Credits
Clemson University hosted the first International Geothermal Summit on May 15 at the new Watts Innovation Center on Clemson University’s campus. More than 100 attendees with a variety of disciplines including architects, contractors, manufacturers, developers, installers, drillers, engineers, policy-makers, professors and students gathered to listen to speakers from Canada, Germany and the U.S.
Professor Kate Schwennsen, director of the Clemson University School of Architecture and former AIA president, welcomed the attendees and pointed out that decision-makers in projects have the responsibility to learn the benefits of geothermal energy and begin to make it the primary solution.
