In advance of an upcoming blog post on the feasibility of renewable energy sources reaching a price parity with conventional energy in the US without government subsidies, we’re hosting a conversation on Twitter on Thursday, July 22 on this subject.

• Are renewables feasible without government assistance?
• Have countries like Germany done the R&D and market testing to allow for a feasible, non-subsidized new energy economy in the US?
• Per Bill Gates, should the US government subsidize the development of renewables like it did for the Internet and microprocessor?
• What would be the benefits and disadvantages of the private sector leading the expansion of renewable energy in the US?

The conversation will start at 2 PM ET on Thursday, July 22nd on Twitter. Follow the #RethinkGreen hashtag to follow and join the conversation. If you have any questions on how to participate, post your questions in the comments section on this blog. We look forward to hearing what you think!

We’ll also be hosting regular conversations in the future, so stay tune for more topics!
