What should we know about the developers who want us to subscribe to community solar gardens? What new technologies are coming — or are here — in renewable energies?

Participants include

• 

  Timothy DenHerder-Thomas

  Timothy DenHerder-Thomas, Cooperative Energy Futures, explaining the community solar garden model being built with Shiloh Temple that not only includes low-income community members in its equation, but uses local workforce trained by Just Community Solar Coalition, affiliated with the Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light. See this quick video for an explanation of the business model.

• • Someone from Fresh Energy, to discuss independent models of energy.
  • TruNorth Solar, which sponsored our December 2015 forum with sustainably minded designers about Minneapolis building stock.
