The following presentation was given by ILSR’s Director of Democratic Energy John Farrell, this year’s keynote speaker at the Sierra Club of Nebraska’s Annual Event on November 21st, 2015. The presentation illustrates the march towards energy democracy by highlighting the spread of affordable distributed energy resources (such as wind and solar) and the intense pressure it puts on the 20th century business model for electric utilities.
John outlined how Nebraska is particularly well-suited to capitalize on added distributed solar capacity. With an active citizenry and publicly-owned utilities, Nebraska can ensure that their energy future is a clean one.
