Energy 101: How is Energy Made and How it Gets to Your Home or Business
Greenpoint, Eco Lab 1
Join Sane Energy Project for an information session on public energy utilities and how they work in New York City.
At this community event you will learn:
Who makes decisions about public energy utilities
How do they charge you
What are alternatives to unstable fossil fuels
How to stop utility rate increases
How to get involved in fossil fuel free energy advocacy
Sane Energy Project’s mission is to replace fracked gas infrastructure with 100% democratically controlled, renewable energy in New York State. We build every campaign through a lens of racial, social, and ecological justice.
We believe that the transition to a renewable and democratic energy system requires a powerful grassroots movement of skilled, informed, and diverse people. Our style of organizing builds a knowledgeable and engaged base and creates strong bonds within and across communities battling fossil fuel projects across New York State.
