“Shaping Energy Transitions”

Changing energy systems requires shifts in technologies, but also values, laws, institutions and practice. How energy systems evolve in New England states and towns will be shaped by a different set of resources, legacy energy systems, institutions, and societal values than in other parts of the United States, North America, and the world. While many states have passed aggressive policies, deployment often remains challenging.  Come learn about different contexts for energy system transitions and discuss different energy system transitions in New England and the world.

Please join us for light refreshments before the talk at 4:30!
