Description
We are undergoing a historic energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy technologies. From top-down global programs to bottom-up individual actions, there are many paths forward. This talk covers the challenges and opportunities of changing our energy system, starting from the big picture, and ending with specific ways you can participate right now, with a special focus on federal energy incentives and state programs like community solar.
Brian Naughton is working to deploy sustainable technologies to most benefit local communities. He previously worked in wind and solar startups as a renewable energy researcher at Sandia National Laboratories and as a senior analyst at the US Department of Energy’s Wind Energy Technologies Office. He earned his PhD in materials engineering and his BS in mechanical engineering. Naughton has also earned certificates in permaculture design and community solar development.
