Please join special guest, Bill Nussey, CEO, founder and author of FREEING ENERGY for a discussion of the surprising ways small-scale "local energy" systems will disrupt the century-old power industry from the outside in. Please register HERE: https://us02web.zoom.us/.../tZUrd... Everyone knows that small-scale DERs (distributed energy resources) are a growing trend that represent one of the first challenges in a century of electric utility domination. But what many people do not yet understand is the unstoppable and irresistible nature of this trend. It is not only unleashing an internet-like wave of competition and innovation, it is creating new pathways for resilience, lower cost, and social equity, in the US and across the world. Bill Nussey will share the findings from the 320 interviews across six countries captured in his new book, Freeing Energy. He shares what the US legislators and policymakers can learn from Africa, Australia, and Europe, as well as the history of computers and internet, as they try to navigate a clean energy future.
