Alexander Franke

 

of the Heinrich Böll Institute, Berlin

will talk about what is really happening in

Germany and answer questions

 

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.

Alexander Franke is a project assistant for the German Energy Transition project, where he has worked since 2012. The German Energy Transition is a project of the Heinrich Böll Foundation, http://tinyurl.com/energwiende which aims to explain the German Energiewende and its policies to an international audience. In his research, Mr. Franke concentrates on renewable energy and sustainability transitions. He comes to us from the EPA conference, “International Environmental Youth Symposium 2015” that was organized by the EPA Region 4 (Southeast)
