What's Wrong with Natural Gas — What’s Right with Small Hydro

A Virtual Conversation

Wednesday, April 17 • 7:00-8:30pm

A virtual event April 17 will focus on continuing progress toward clean energy in Louisville. It will take a clear-eyed look at the drawbacks to relying on natural gas, and at the realistic potential for low-impact hydropower. The series of events, titled “REAL Good News” will hold its 13th in a series of quarterly public Zoom meetings aimed at making sure Louisville implements its green energy goals.

In 2020 the Metro Council passed a resolution to move the city’s operations to 100% clean renewable electricity by 2030. That resolution also sets a goal of 100% clean energy for the entire Louisville community by 2040.

The April event will will feature a presentation on the role of natural gas in Louisville’s energy mix, by Byron Gary, Program Attorney for the Kentucky Resources Council; and on how Kentucky’s resources of hydroelectricity can achieve clean energy goals by David Brown Kinlock, president of Appalachian Hydro Associates.

The event will also show how you can attend Metro Council meetings to speak in favor of implementing Louisville's clean energy resolution. It will open and close with music by John Gage.

The REAL Good News event will run from 7 to 8:30 April 17. It is sponsored by the Renewable Energy Alliance of Louisville, Kentucky Interfaith Power & Light, and the Christian Action group of St. Paul United Methodist Church.
