Event Description

The tensions between development and sustainability and production and conservation, combined with the ongoing debate over energy sources, have taken center stage in recent years. Join us for the next installment of the “On the Front Porch” series as AEI’s Brent Orrell and the Brookings Institution’s Tony Pipa talk with Michelle Moore of Groundswell and Benji Backer of the American Conservation Coalition about their companies’ distinct approaches to environmental sustainability. Ms. Moore will highlight how clean energy policy can revitalize rural America, while Mr. Backer will emphasize market-driven solutions. Together, they’ll explore how communities across the country can address environmental challenges through innovative and locally focused strategies.
