SciLine - Renewable energy and the grid: Expert panel



Americans are increasingly making the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, with solar and wind leading the charge. SciLine`s media briefing summarized progress towards U.S. renewable energy goals and addressed hurdles that remain for communities—including technical and economic challenges that local governments and utilities must overcome to integrate new solar and wind sources into the grid, and ways that everyday life may change for individuals in a renewable future. Three panelists made short presentations and then took questions on the record.

Panelists included:
Dr. Erin Baker, University of Massachusetts Amherst
Dr. Sarah Kurtz, University of California, Merced
Dr. Melissa Lott, Columbia University
