We tend to see technology as the vehicle moving us into a new era of distributed energy. But who’s driving the car?

It’s you. And it’s not an easy maneuver, given the roadblocks created by legacy utilities and outdated regulations. It can be downright exhausting.

Veteran clean energy developer Ben Parvey, CEO of BlueSky Power, will speak to the Energy Changemakers community about how to keep you and your team inspired in his talk, “The Spirit of Clean Energy: Where we have been, where we are going and how to inspire change in yourself, your team and your communities.”

I’ve followed Ben’s career for several years. To understand his boldness and vision, I suggest you read this article about him: Should you even bother connecting to the grid?

The livestream will be held on Wednesday, May 8, from 12:15-1:15 pm EST. As always we’ll have plenty of time for Q&A and exchange of community ideas!
