Through her knowledge and personal experience, she will convey to Expo attendees how the future of electric vehicles is shaping.

Chelsea Sexton is a veteran clean transportation and energy advocate. Her work on General Motors' EV1 program was featured in the Sony Pictures Classics film, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" She went on to serve as Director of the Automotive X PRIZE, Senior Advisor to VantagePoint Venture Partners' Cleantech practice, and co-founder of Plug In America, the largest consumer-oriented electric drive advocacy group. Most recently, she founded the Lightning Rod Foundation, an advisory and educational organization. Additionally, Chelsea is a Consulting Producer on Chris Paine's next film, "Revenge of the Electric Car".

Events like the Solar and Wind Expo provide an opportunity for people to get the most current information and make the most of those choices." said Chelsea. "I will no doubt include talk of the next film in my keynote presentation" she added.

The Solar and Wind Expo received accolades from Expo attendees and exhibitors in May, 2010 when it featured another of Plugin Americas' founders, Paul Scott, along with Bob Dixson, the well known Mayor of Greensburg, Kansas which was decimated by an F5 tornado and rebuilt with all alternative energy and green construction. With Chelsea Sexton as keynote speaker in 2011, The Solar and Wind Expo continues to take a proactive approach at bringing top quality clean energy advocates to the east coast region.
