of the Heinrich Böll Institute, Berlin

will talk about what is really happening in

Why it is important?

What does it means for the Hudson River  Valley?

Energy Transformation! That’s what the German policy of  Energiewende is all about — a bold move toward an all-renewable, nonnuclear future and a way to make our energygeneration more democratic, in the hands of residents. Germany took the first hard steps 20 years ago; now it is our turn. Find out how it works, why it works, and what it holds for the future — both theirs and  ours. Call 888-474-8848 to reserve a seat.
