A longtime partner of ABRA, Friends of Buckingham, is sponsoring a webinar discussing the problems associated with Utility-Scale Solar development and potential strategies to reduce these effects on Friday, April 25th, at 2:00pm. While ABRA strongly supports solar (and other renewable energy technologies) at all scales, as we believe it is vital to providing energy diversity and security and mitigating the effects of our energy usage on the climate, we recognize that there are ways to build it “well”. And then there are the cheaper and easier ways, which are too often chosen in the rush to develop. If you are interested in learning more, please follow the link below to Friends of Buckingham’s website. (fb)
