March 24: Greening Clean Energy

As utility-scale solar booms to meet the growing demands for clean energy and carbon reduction, several communities have expressed concerns about the social and environmental impacts of this boom. Some “climate fundamentalists” claim we must exempt zero-carbon energy, like solar, from environmental regulation, and there is a growing trend to preempt municipal control over renewable energy development to speed up regulatory approvals.

Professor Hannah Wiseman from Penn State Law will focus her presentation on taking more of a middle ground approach as it relates to the regulatory process, local control, and encouraging solar energy development with potentially fewer impacts.
