How and where we make and use electricity is key to solving climate change - and the Acadia center has released a series of reports that walk New England through the process from where we are today to a total clean energy vision.
We will hear about their three levels of thinking for bringing our electricity into the 21st century -
EnergyVision - which sets forth important steps on four parallel tracks to create an energy system that is safer, cleaner and more affordable and offers the promise of deep reductions in climate change causing emissions)
UtilityVision - which presents an ambitious but realistic energy future that puts the consumer firmly in the center, complete with specific steps needed to create a new energy system that both meets our needs and supports a fair, healthy economy and environment
CommunityEnergyVision - a comprehensive framework that outlines a pathway for communities to take control of the energy system and modernize the way it is planned and managed.
Tyler Soleau of the Acadia Center, lately of the MA legislative office of Rep Frank Smizik, will cover all the research, with a strong emphasis on Community Energy Vision, and helping communities make the right choices about their energy.
