SUMMARY:Solar Guidebook for Pennsylvania Landowners:  Leasing Property for Large-Scale Solar Development 
DESCRIPTION:Solar is one of the fastest-growing energy sources in the world. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association\, the U.S. solar industry is on target to add a record-breaking 32 gigawatts of new solar capacity to the grid in 2023\, which is 50% more than it added last year. Due to several policy incentives and the fact that large-scale solar is now the least expensive form of electricity\, energy companies around the world are expanding their solar operations through large-scale and community solar operations. Many of them have their eyes set on Pennsylvania due to its abundance of land and proximity to electricity transmission lines. That’s why the Pennsylvania Solar Center and Fair Shake Environmental Legal Services have teamed up to develop a Guidebook for Landowners to navigate Pennsylvania’s growing solar markets.   \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:KING COAL: A Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:With director Elaine McMillion Sheldon in person to introduce the film and do Q&A after the screening! Co-Presented with Film Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nA lyrical tapestry of a place and people\, KING COAL meditates on the complex history and future of the coal industry\, the communities it has shaped\, and the myths it has created. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon reshapes the boundaries of documentary filmmaking in a spectacularly beautiful and deeply moving immersion into Central Appalachia where coal is not just a resource\, but a way of life\, imagining the ways a community can re-envision itself. While deeply situated in the regions under the reign of King Coal\, where McMillion Sheldon has lived and worked her entire life\, the film transcends time and place\, emphasizing the ways in which all are connected through an immersive mosaic of belonging\, ritual\, and imagination. Emerging from the long shadows of the coal mines\, KING COAL untangles the pain from the beauty\, and illuminates the innately human capacity for change. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Climate Smart Agriculture: Impacts from the Affordable Clean Energy Plan
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the 2023 Farm Bill\, the reauthorization process\, and why climate smart conservation programs are so vital to addressing the climate crisis. The historic passage of the Affordable Clean Energy Plan is at the one year mark\, and along with the extensive clean energy programs is a $20 billion Farm Bill. There is no shortage of threats to cutting various conservation and climate smart agricultural components within the Farm Bill\, and it is essential that throughout the legislative process that these programs remain intact.

SUMMARY:2023 Nature of Place Symposium: Faith and the Environment

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:ReImagine Appalachia is excited to be joined by speakers from Ohio River Valley Institute\, Keystone Research and the Center for Economic and Policy Research to discuss what Full Employment for All could mean for Appalachia.\n\nIn this session\, they will discuss job and other persistent economic trends that make Full Employment an especially promising concept for our region. With subsidized employment\, the government covers some or all the wages of new hires. Scholars find that this is one of the most effective policies for putting people back to work. Increasing the employment rate of the most disadvantaged workers has been shown not only to benefit the workers and their families but also to have broad community-wide benefits.
