SUMMARY:Virtual Distinguished Lecture: Accelerating Our Path to a Carbon Negative Society
DESCRIPTION:Join the Scott Institute for Energy Innovation at Carnegie Mellon University for a Distinguished Lecture featuring Shashank Samala. \nThe lecture and discussion will focus on the engineering and robotics challenges behind scaling a direct carbon capture technology. \nShashank Samala is CEO at Heirloom\, a company whose goal is to remove carbon dioxide out of the air at a gigaton scale by 2035 to help reverse climate change. He grew up in southeast India where he saw first-hand impacts of climate change on some of the world’s most vulnerable people. \nShashank was previously Entrepreneur in Residence at Carbon180\, a leading climate policy NGO working solely on atmospheric carbon removal\, and a founder at Tempo Automation\, a soon to be public company that raised >$400M from leading investors and builds mission critical electronics for robotics\, satellites\, reusable rockets\, and more. Shashank previously worked in Marketing at Square and attended Cornell University. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nRegistration closes one hour prior to the virtual event. \nNote: This is a virtual event. A Zoom Webinar link will be sent closer to the event to your registered email address.

SUMMARY:Preparing Your Community for Solar Development: the SolSmart Program and Technical Assistance
DESCRIPTION:Provided by: Water Resources Center \nLocal governments have tremendous influence over the prospects for\, and shape of\, solar energy growth. The solar industry is a leading source of American job creation and attracting solar investment in your community is a great way to promote economic development and new jobs. Solar resources are inherently local and can benefit the community directly as energy sources.  However\, solar development – from the rooftop to the solar farm – presents both opportunity and risk to the community. Many communities are poorly equipped to navigate the issues of local solar development. The national SolSmart program (funded by the U.S. Department of Energy) offers free technical assistance to communities for navigating risks and capturing opportunities as the solar industry ramps up. This workshop will describe the burgeoning market for solar energy and solar development\, the components of ensuring your community is “solar-ready” to both capture benefits and minimize risks\, and the solar-ready certification process and technical assistance opportunities.  Water quality and watershed issues will be addressed.
