- Building clean energy infrastructure: Roadblocks, tradeoffs, and solutionsNeeds location
The Hamilton Project (THP) at the Brookings Institution and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability will host an event exploring the roadblocks and tradeoffs that policymakers need to confront in order to create a resilient and clean electricity grid.
REGISTER HERE: https://www.hamiltonproject.org/event/building-clean-energy-infrastructure-roadblocks-tradeoffs-and-solutions
Even as the federal permitting process has become more efficient, the fragmented governance of the grid has slowed projects and needed investments. Solving those issues is not enough: Utilities must also act to mitigate the increasing risk of wildfires from climate change and the aging grid.
The event will feature two fireside chats, the first with U.S. Senator Alex Padilla and the second with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Commissioner Allison Clements, along with two panel discussions.
The event will coincide with the release of two new policy proposals focused on the governance of the electricity grid and the intersection of wildfire risk and utilities. The Hamilton Project will also release a facts document highlighting permitting reform.
For updates on the event, viewers can follow @HamiltonProj and join the conversation using #CleanEnergyFuture to ask questions or email info@hamiltonproject.org.

Note: the panel is not intended to be a "how-to" session on the Miyawaki Method, so for introductory info, please check out the many online resources, including those found at PocketForests.org. For help building your own forest, Sugiprojects.com is a great resource.
This forum is sponsored by the Ann Arbor, MI chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby which has been working on creating a pilot Miyawaki-inspired “Pocket Forest" for a year now -- you can read about their efforts in this article. They've seen such interest in the topic that they put together a video and a website.
