SUMMARY:Deep Dive Webinar: What’s Next? Overcoming Barriers to the Clean Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:After years of ambitious campaigns to set clean energy targets and pass enabling policies across the country\, focus is now expanding to how and when these much-needed investments will take place. Transforming the power grid can be slow and complex\, but it’s crucial that states are able to overcome transmission barriers on a shorter timescale.  \nAccelerating our clean energy investments calls for policy innovation in siting and permitting\, advanced grid technologies\, and reforming how utilities and other state actors approach energy efficiency. A panel of experts will discuss how states can overcome long standing barriers to the grid transition to ensure that their investments are as effective and timely as possible. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Ajay Singh Chaudhary presents The Exhausted of the Earth

He holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University’s MESAAS department and Institute for Comparative Literature and Society\, and an M.Sc. in Culture and Society from the London School of Economics.

He has written for the Los Angeles Review of Books\, Quartz\, Social Text\, Dialectical Anthropology\, The Jewish Daily Forward\, The Public Eye\, Filmmaker Magazine\, and 3quarksdaily\, among other venues. \nThis event is hosted by the California Center for Sustainable Communities at UCLA. \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nLOCATION \nLa Kretz Garden Pavillion \nUCLA Mildred E.
