Show Description:

Clean Energy: Delivering on The Promise

The future of our climate’s (and society’s) stability is dependent upon each of us collectively taking an “all of the above” approach. That means that in addition to taking responsibility for our own carbon and environmental footprint (via modification of our diets, lifestyles, energy efficiency and clean energy installations), we need to push for rapid government deployment of utility-scale clean energy.

Join HealthyPlanet’s Bob DiBenedetto and the Executive Director of Renewable Energy Long Island, Gordian Raacke for a discussion of the promise, need and proven performance of clean energy–in a world where climate solutions are urgently needed.

This show discusses:

• The proof that clean energy has already made a huge difference in our demand for dirty energy on LI and elsewhere.

* Why the efficiency of solar panels is NOT a good measure of the value of this proven clean energy resource,
even though some would like you to think it is!

• How the clean energy movement has blossomed in recent years, and what exciting developments are coming.

• How utilities can manage power in a clean energy economy where the sun doesn’t always shine,
and the wind doesn’t always blow.

• The truth about clean energy’s ability to deliver on the promise of addressing the climate emergency.

• How long solar panels take to produce enough clean energy to mitigate the energy used to create them.

and more…
