Local Energy Rules

In the face of gridlock and inaction at state and federal levels, what tools do cities have to take the lead on local, renewable energy? In this episode of the Local Energy Rules podcast, John Farrell, director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance’s Energy Democracy Initiative, is joined by Minneapolis City Councilmember Jeremy Schroeder, who has been a vocal leader in city hall on local energy and climate solutions. The two spoke for a recent episode of the Institute’s Building Local Power podcast, which we have recut here, to highlight the city’s unique partnership with its incumbent utility and what other tools the city is using to address climate change locally. https://ilsr.org/articles/jeremy-schroeder-episode-70-local-energy-rules-podcast/
