To take an "on the ground look" at rural energy decisions in action, Pipa and Mills will examine the benefits and pitfalls of a wind farming venture led by a small group of farmers in rural Michigan. Their conversation also will examine:
- The centrality of rural America in the country's transition to clean energy
- Trade-offs rural communities face when considering energy projects
- How community-centered approaches can help rural places maximize the community and economic development benefits
This event is a part of Election ’24: Issues at Stake,
a Brookings initiative aimed to bring public attention to consequential
policy issues confronting voters and policymakers in the run-up to the
2024 election.
