Please join us to hear from our special guest speaker Roger Lin, a senior attorney from the Center for Biological Diversity. This talk will examine the importance of energy justice, which includes equity and environmental justice, as we transition to cleaner energy sources in order to mitigate the climate crisis. Roger will do a presentation on distributed energy resources (DERs) generally and how they are a better way to reach our climate goals vs. bulk transmission buildout (which is inefficient, more expensive, and presents significant impacts to communities and wildlife). He will delve into a study done in March 2023 by him and his associates Howard Crystal and Jean Su entitled, Rooftop Solar Justice: Why Net Metering is Good for People and the Planet and Why Monopoly Utilities Want to Kill It. There will be time allotted for questions from the audience. There is no charge for this online event, but you must register in advance. Once you do, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join the meeting. This will also enable us to inform you if there are any last-minute announcements, instructions, or other information. Thank you.
