Beyond providing home-grown clean power, advocates and solar industry experts love the co-benefits of solar that can benefit EVERYONE. Honeybees, pollinators, livestock, and most importantly, people. Especially BIPOC communities who have traditionally been excluded from many forms of clean energy due to barriers to entry such as institutional racism, economic barriers, and more.
Fresh Energy and the Center for Pollinators in Energy, with the support of many partners, have been on the forefront of elevating and catalyzing pollinator-friendly and dual-use PV solar in the United States. We are excited to bring the Pages and our friends at Vote Solar, Connexus Energy, Eden Renewables, and Krewe Restaurant together to show their love for dual-use solar that benefits all.
Presented in partnership with Fresh Energy, Vote Solar, Connexus Energy, and Eden Renewables.
Guests include:
- Justice Alan Page, former justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court and Co-Author of “Bee Love (Can Be Hard)”
- Kamie Page, Co-Author of “Be Love (Can Be Hard)”
- Greg Ridderbush, CEO at Connexus Energy
