STEVENS POINT – The third segment of a lecture series about the sustainability and resiliency impacting Wisconsin communities will be offered in March through the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
The lecture, Navigating Solar Energy Deployment in the Urban/Rural Divide, presented by Brian Ross, vice president of renewable energy at Great Plains Institute, will be held at 6:30 p.m. March 12 at the Portage County Public Library Pinery Room. The event will also be live streamed.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
The lecture will focus on addressing environmental justice considerations in communities that are asked to host clean energy sites. These places are facing land use issues and concerns regarding the transformation of the rural landscape and agricultural economics. Ross will touch on ways communities can navigate fairness in clean energy policy, consensus building, decarbonization and local government implementation.
