Technogenesis® TV show investigates competition in the energy industry
The recent news about California's experiences in the deregulated energy market have resulted in an increase in both regional and national concerns about the future of the industry. This Sunday, experts debate the issue of energy competition and whether deregulation will truly bring benefits to consumers on Technogenesis®, a new TV program produced by Stevens Institute of Technology, in cooperation with cn8, the Comcast Network.
Featured guests include Matthew Holden, Jr., public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and Ken Malloy, president of the Center for Advancement of Energy Markets.
The Technogenesis program, "Energy Deregulation," airs at 7:30 p.m. on cn8, the Comcast Network, each of the following Sundays: April 8, April 22, May 6 and May 20. Check local cable listings for cn8 in your area.

Doherty Professor of Government and Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia. He is currently working on a study tentatively titled Regulatory Policy and Practice. Holden has been a member of the President's Air Quality Advisory Board, the Wisconsin Public Service Commission and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of the Task Force on Electric System Reliability.
Ken Malloy is the president of the Center for the Advancement of Energy Markets (CAEM), an independent, non-profit, Washington, D.C.-based think tank specializing in the impact of technology and restructuring on energy markets.
