SUMMARY:Reimagining Energy Permitting for the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Congress has a once-in-a-decade opportunity to rethink how the United States does energy permitting—a step that would accelerate efforts to modernize the country’s physical infrastructure. The old way of permitting must be reformed to facilitate deployment of innovative technologies that will enhance U.S. energy security and address environmental imperatives. Yet the discussion about permitting reform to date has largely focused on procedural reforms to federal statutes\, such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). While siting and building need to speed up\, additional permitting challenges for new and emerging energy technology solutions remain. \nPlease join the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation (ITIF) on Capitol Hill for a briefing event featuring keynote remarks by Reps. Garret Graves (R-LA) and Scott Peters (D-CA) followed by an expert panel discussion on ways Congress can reduce barriers to digital energy solutions\, increase new energy infrastructure technologies\, and modernize our entire energy infrastructure. \nREGISTER HERE \nQuestions for the speakers? Ask on Slido.

SUMMARY:Greening Hollywood Sets to Flip the Script on Plastics
DESCRIPTION:The average film production uses as many as 39\,000 single-use plastic bottles over a 60-day period. Removing single-use plastics from sets not only saves money\, it can also help influence what is shown on screen and help transform our culture from viewing single-use plastics as “normal”— because they’re not. Through the power of collaboration\, entertainment unions\, advocacy organizations\, and stars use their influence to divest from single use-plastic\, both behind and in front of the camera. \nDuring this thought-provoking discussion\, we will explore the power of the entertainment industry to drive positive change to measurably reduce plastic pollution by eliminating single-use plastic in production. Joining the conversation will be Fran Drescher\, actor\, environmentalist\, and President of the Screen Actors Guild/American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA); Asher Levin\, Creative Director of the Environmental Media Association (EMA); and Emellie O’Brien\, CEO & Co-founder of Earth Angel. The panel will be moderated by Jordan Howard\, Founder of ShftSpace. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Inflation Reduction Act - What's in it for you?
DESCRIPTION:Join for an illuminating virtual panel exploring the environmental programs and incentives included in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA): the single largest investment in climate and the green economy in U.S. history. The expert panel will demystify the IRA\, providing valuable information about its programs\, protections\, and incentives. Discover how you can save tens of thousands of dollars through qualifying tax credits\, and how state and local governments\, community groups\, and innovative companies can access funding to reach their climate goals. This new law has transformational potential for people and the planet\, so it’s important that governments and private entities take advantage of these time-sensitive opportunities before they pass us by! \nREGISTER HERE
