Decarbonization will require a massive expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, potentially putting clean energy advocates and land conservationists at odds. Join us for an Energy Policy Seminar featuring Charles Taylor, Assistant Professor at Harvard Kennedy School, who will present findings from a forthcoming paper co-authored with Meredith Fowlie (UC Berkeley).
Q&A to follow. Buffet-style lunch will be served.
Registration: RSVP required. A Harvard University ID is required for in-person attendance; all are welcome to attend via Zoom.
Recording: The seminar will be recorded and available to watch on the Belfer Center's YouTube channel. Those who register for this event will automatically receive a link to the recording as soon as it becomes available.
Accessibility: To request accommodations or who have questions about access, please contact Liz Hanlon (ehanlon@hks.harvard.edu) in advance of the session.
