SUMMARY:Is this it? Entering the “Economic Idiocracy”
DESCRIPTION:John Delafield\, founder and former CEO of Renewable Energy Services\, will talk about renewable energy in three parts: \n1) Where do we find ourselves?\n2) Why are we here?\n3) What are we up against? and why it matters. \nHe will illustrate these points by referencing the Solar Energy industry. \nRenewable Energy Services (RES) has been delivering clean power solutions to U.S. communities since 2013. Based in Durham\, RES has completed dozens of solar-based installations in North and South Carolina as well as Virginia. Many more are being planned. And the projects will not only help reduce carbon emissions. They will provide jobs. John is passionate about the impact of solar energy on the economy because he has the facts. Currently\, the U.S. has about 45\,000 people working in the coal industry\, but six times that many are employed with solar energy. Sticking with fossil fuels rather than solar – a move being championed by the Trump administration – is a losing proposition in John’s opinion. A graduate of UNC\, John has spent years working with community leaders to bring renewable energy solutions and jobs to our towns. \nThis meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue\, Extraordinary Ventures\, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please use our contact us form (https://ehstnc.org/contact-us/) to make your request.
