Tribal Energy Economies: Investing in a Sustainable Future
CLE Conference

Domestic energy production is undergoing a major evolution as we explore and expand traditional and new energy sources. Tribes are well-positioned to lead our nation into this next generation of development.

This conference will bring together elected and community leaders from Indian country, financing and energy industry experts, attorneys, and those in academia to chart a course that will allow tribes to increase their leverage now and create sustainable energy economies for the future.  We will look at strategic plans to promote investment and to prepare the tribes for a transition towards truly sustainable economies. We will address the traditional energies: coal, natural gas, oil, and segue to alternative and renewable energies and beyond. This conference will be a true exchange of ideas by experts in traditional, renewable, and alternative energies, as well as engineers, economists, attorneys, and financial and legislative specialists. It will look at the challenges of developing long-term economies in these energies, including the economic and cultural issues associated with large-scale build-outs on tribal lands. The mission of the conference is to inspire the attendees not only to envision the future for the tribe’s energy economies but to also identify a clear path to success and bring together people who can contribute to achieve that success.
