Improve Energy Reliability and Safety AND Help the Planet
Join Environmental Forum of Marin this February 4, 2020, for their next Community Education Event entitled "Community MicroGrids: Renewable Energy and Resilience."
Speakers are:
- Peter Asmus, Research Director of Guidehouse

In the Fall of 2019, the Bay Area experienced widespread power shutoffs for 3 - 6 days due to the extreme weather and fire. Such experiences with climate change tell us that we need to develop a safer, more reliable, less expensive and lower emission approach to delivering electricity to homes and businesses.
