Lunch & Learn: Why Wind Works

Description:

Join Citizens Campaign for the Environment and the NY League of Conservation Voters Education Fund for a virtual Lunch and Learn Forum on Why Wind Works for New York.

New York is a leader in addressing climate change. We passed the nation’s most aggressive climate bill, which mandates 70% renewable energy by 2030 and a carbon neutral economy by 2050. We will not achieve these goals without offshore wind. There is a lot of news regarding offshore wind for the past year and we understand it may be hard to keep current! If you want important news and facts, then please join us for the upcoming Lunch and Learn entitled Why Wind Works.

Join us and a panel of experts to discuss the facts of why offshore wind works, why it is needed in our state, and what benefits it brings to several regions throughout New York. Learn more about the environmental impacts of offshore wind and the programs to protect marine life and our oceans as we move forward with this renewable energy infrastructure.

There will be an opportunity for Q & A with our expert panelists after the presentation.
