Braver Angels Event: "Is 100% Renewable Energy a Fairy Tale?"

Event Title:
"Is 100% Renewable Energy a Fairy Tale? Unraveling the Energy Puzzle"

About this Event:
Join us for a provocative evening that cuts through the noise on renewable energy and the skyrocketing demands of AI, data centers, and electrification. Is the dream of a 100% renewable energy future a realistic solution or a feel-good fantasy? This event is designed to spark curiosity and bridge divides, bringing together conservatives, liberals, and everyone in between to tackle one question: Can we power our world without compromise?

Why You Should Attend:
- The Stakes: AI and data centers are devouring energy at an unprecedented rate, while electrification pushes our grid to the brink. Can renewables like wind and solar keep up, or are we chasing a myth?
- The Debate: Hear from a retired energy executive and Braver Angels Moderator, Chris Schoenherr, on whether renewables can deliver or if we need a broader mix—nuclear, gas, or beyond.
- Your Voice: Interactive Q&A in the Braver Angels Way to share your perspective, whether you prioritize affordability, innovation, or the environment.
- The Hook: Expect myth-busting insights, surprising data, and a bold discussion on balancing clean energy, cheap power, and the infrastructure we all love to hate (but need).

Why It Matters:
We all want reliable electricity, low costs, and a healthy planet—but nobody wants a wind farm or power plant in their backyard. With AI’s energy demands doubling every few years and electrification transforming our economy, the pressure is on. Can renewables be the “silver bullet” we’ve been promised, or do we need a pragmatic, all-of-the-above approach? This event will challenge assumptions, spark debate, and leave you with answers that matter—whether you lean left, right, or somewhere in between.

Who Should Attend:
- Conservatives curious about energy independence and practical solutions.
- Liberals passionate about climate goals and sustainable innovation.
- Tech enthusiasts eager to understand AI’s impact on our energy future.
- Anyone who wants to cut through the hype and get real answers.
Let’s explore the energy question head-on—together!
