Renewable Energy & The Smart Grid
The "Race for American Jobs: Clean Energy Leadership" was a four-week, coast-to-coast virtual campaign by BICEP, in partnership with We Can Lead. It aimed to highlight the economic and job-creation benefits of national climate and energy legislation, advocating for investment in a low-carbon economy and establishing a carbon price.
The campaign engaged business leaders nationwide through events in Oregon, Colorado, Ohio, and New Hampshire, concluding in Washington on March 10. Each event featured panel discussions with major consumer brands and local clean economy entrepreneurs, contributing to thought leadership in Sustainability, Clean Tech, and Energy in 2010.
Todd Reeve of the Portland, Oregon-based Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) discusses the organization's three core program areas: climate change and renewable energy initiatives; educating K-12 students on climate and energy; and long-term watershed restoration.

Matteo Lane is a multifaceted artist—stand-up comedian, painter, singer, and Broadway performer. In this interview, he shares how these skills intertwine in his creative process, likening art to a tree that branches out in various directions.
We explore his role as Billy Flynn in Broadway’s Chicago, his journey from bar shows to international comedy tours, and the evolution of gay representation in comedy. Lane also discusses his artistic roots at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, his admiration for Maria Callas, and his philosophy of focusing on the journey of creation rather than the end product.
