Getting To Clean Energy: Choose Your Own Adventure Style

November 14, 2019

Host Hibba Meraay talks with Energy Democracy Director and ILSR Co-Director John Farrell about the new and improved Community Power Toolkit and how it can guide communities to take action on clean energy locally. They also discuss: the advantages of the toolkit's interactive, multi-media format and how it can complement more traditional research reports [2:46]; the link between energy policy and climate change mitigation and how strategies outlined in the toolkit can help communities take action to protect the planet, locally [6:21]; and how the Community Power Toolkit gives communities access to over 20 tried and tested strategies for taking action on clean energy so they don't need to reinvent the wheel but can instead learn from what is already working [12:06].
