SciLine Media Briefing: Renewable Energy and the Grid

Event Date:

January 24, 2024

Americans are increasingly making the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, with solar and wind leading the charge. SciLine’s next media briefing will summarize progress towards U.S. renewable energy goals and address hurdles that remain for communities—including technical and economic challenges that local governments and utilities must overcome to integrate new solar and wind sources into the grid, and ways that everyday life may change for individuals in a renewable future. Three panelists will make short presentations and then take questions on the record.

Panelists:

    Dr. Melissa Lott, Columbia University
    Dr. Sarah Kurtz, University of California, Merced
    Dr. Erin Baker, University of Massachusetts Amherst
    SciLine Director Rick Weiss will moderate the briefing.

When: Wednesday, January 24 at 2-3 p.m. ET
