WHAT MORE SHOULD NEW JERSEY KNOW ABOUT TRANSFORMING OUR ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE: IS THERE MORE TO GREEN THAN MEETS THE EYE?
ABOUT THE EVENT
The Hall Institute has gathered various panelists who are at the forefront of their fields for a discussion about green energy infrastructure. Discussed will be the technical points of planning green and delivering clean energy to the market. This panel and all questions from the audience will be televised and aired through public access stations throughout New Jersey. Please visit our video section on this site to see the footage. Some questions for the panel:
- How does energy move from remote wind and solar farms to the homes of New Jerseyans?
- What, if anything, can hinder New Jersey from gleaning 13 percent of its energy from wind by 2020?
- What kinds of green energy methods and proposals are most practical and where/by who is New Jersey’s money best spent?
- Does solar face some the same problems as wind?
