SUMMARY:20th Annual Norman Williams Distinguished Lecture in Land Use Planning and the Law: Navigating an Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Law Center at Vermont Law and Graduate School invites you to hear from Dr. Sarah Mills\, director for the Center for EmPowering Communities at the University of Michigan’s Graham Sustainability Institute. \n\n\n\nThe U.S. has only just begun to see the rapid expansion of renewable energy on our landscapes. Technological advancements and reductions in costs for renewable energy have energy models showing that wind and solar may impact as much as 15% of the continental U.S. land area by 2050. The lion’s share of the energy infrastructure that has already been built—and will need to be built—for this energy transformation is sited in rural places.  \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Mills will dig into how this infrastructure impacts rural residents and local governments. She will also discuss how a web of state policy choices—from siting/zoning authority to property tax policy to utility policy—shape the impacts that renewable infrastructure has on rural communities and the ability to deploy renewables with community goals in mind. \n\n\n\nThe livestream can be accessed via the button below or by clicking here.
