Power and Energy

Clearwater focuses on public awareness strategies to help citizenry and civic leaders re-think the future of energy in the Hudson River Valley. “In order to reduce the regional impacts of impending climate change, we have to act aggressively, immediately, and collaboratively,” said Manna Jo Greene, Environmental Director for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. “We have to put our differences aside and all work together with clear determination to really bring sustainable energy infrastructure info the Hudson Valley. To date our society has invested over 98% of its research, development and infrastructure into nuclear and fossil fuels, and less than 2% into energy efficiency and renewables. If we shift our priorities, we can transform the energy landscape in this region and become a global model.”
