Lyons, Nebraska - On Thursday, July 21, a coalition of environmental and energy advocates including the Center for Rural Affairs, will host a community discussion on practical, commonsense ideas that provide Nebraska communities with more opportunities in our state’s energy future.
El evento es gratuito y abierto al público. El debate se centrará en el sistema eléctrico actual de Nebraska, las energías renovables, la transmisión de electricidad, la eficiencia energética, ideas para proyectos comunitarios de energías renovables y su financiación. Se anima a todos los asistentes a compartir sus propias ideas. La conversación comunitaria comenzará con un panel de participantes destacados, tras lo cual se abrirá un espacio para debates grupales.
"We are looking forward to continuing the conversation that was begun by the Norfolk Daily News with their Community Conversation back in May. The issues surrounding Nebraska's energy future are big issues to grapple with, with long-term ramifications,” said Lauren Kolojejchick-Kotch with the Center for Rural Affairs. “And we believe that the more people we get involved in these discussions, the more voices that we hear from, the better prepared our state will be to make the best decisions."
QUÉ: Conversación comunitaria sobre el futuro energético de Nebraska
WHEN: Thursday, July 21st, 2016 from 6:30 ~ 8:30 p.m.
WHERE: Northeast Community College, Lifelong Learning Center, 701 E Benjamin Ave., Norfolk, NE 68701
“This is an important time to share your questions, ideas, and thoughts about Nebraska’s energy future,” added Kolojejchick-Kotch. “Right now the Nebraska Energy Office, Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, and our Public Power Districts are hard at work planning for Nebraska's energy future. The Nebraska Energy Office and these agencies have been tasked with putting together a comprehensive State Energy Plan that looks at the cost of fuel, future customer growth, where we currently get our power from, future generation options, and environmental regulations. The final plan will likely include recommendations for future energy investments and other decisions regarding our public power system.”
Kolojejchick-Kotch continuó: “Estas decisiones afectarán a todos los habitantes de Nebraska. Esto significa que todos deberíamos tener voz y voto en las decisiones relacionadas con el suministro eléctrico. Al mismo tiempo, el sistema de energía pública de Nebraska es único, ya que es el único sistema de servicios eléctricos estatales de propiedad pública en el país. Los clientes de todo el estado no solo merecen participar en el proceso de elaboración de un plan energético estatal, sino también opinar sobre las prioridades de nuestros distritos de energía pública. Si desean ver una mayor inversión en eficiencia energética, este es el momento de manifestar ese interés”.
This event is hosted by the Clean Energy Nebraska coalition. Our goal is to gain feedback from customer-owners that we can take back to our state’s capital and discuss with law and policy makers in our legislature and other state agencies.
