About this Event
Our Boulder County chapter welcomes Ron Sinton, President of Sinton Instruments, for a Speaker Series presentation exploring the challenges and trade-offs of achieving 100% renewable energy.
This talk will explore the interplay between solar, wind, storage, and gas in the quest for affordable clean energy.
The focus will be on simple explanations that can be used to better visualize and understand more detailed plans. Decisions are being made now with less-than-perfect information about the future. Cost is an essential element, as affordable clean electricity is the fundamental requirement to enable rapid progress in clean transportation and heating, both of which now individually create more pollution than electricity in Colorado.
Join us in person in Boulder, Colorado, at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder (UUCB). Arrive early for networking and light refreshments. The main presentation will start at 7 PM.
