Description

We are in the midst of an energy transition moving from fossil fuels like coal, gasoline, and natural gas to a world powered by the sun We will use renewables like solar, wind, water and battery storage to heat, cool, travel and transition to a trillion-dollar new economy in less than half a century The transition to renewable energy is not just about protecting the environment. It is also about lowering your bill, creating jobs and economic opportunity. The clean energy sector will become the economy of the future. The question is how will your community grow with it? Whether you come to discuss high electric bills and how a utility company's plan to raise rates will drive them higher... Or whether you are an elected official hungry to learn more about how you can steer dollars from the Biden Administration and the Inflation Reduction Act to this community... Or if you are a homeowner planning to replace your water heater, heat pump, or windows and are curious about how tax credits in the inflation reduction act can reduce your cost by 30 percent... Or if you are a middle or high school student wondering about what you are going to do for a living... Come and join this community conversation about Pitt County's energy future.
