DELHI - Dennis Higgins and Keith Schue return to Bushel with an updated presentation of their in-depth talk on New York state’s energy and climate plan. This program will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 13, 7–9 p.m. at Bushel, 106 Main Street, Delhi. Free and open to the public. Clean, fresh water and other refreshments will be served.
In their detailed slide talk, Higgins and Schue ask: Does the state legislation make fiscal or engineering sense? Does it respect communities and preserve our environment? They will share an overview of New York State’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) and outline their ideas on how the state could better address these critical issues. A Q&A will follow their presentation.
