Idaho has committed to reducing the state’s share of climate-changing greenhouse emissions, and there’s no shortage of ways to reduce our carbon emissions. In back-to-back sessions, we’ll explore two provocative and promising proposals to cut the carbon while still generating ample energy needed to sustain Idaho’s growth. Arjun Makhijani, president of the Maryland-based Institute for Energy and Environmental Research and author of the ground-breaking “Carbon-Free and Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy,” will present the findings of his carbon-reduction report and what it means for Idaho. Joining him will be Rhys Roth, Director of Strategic Innovation at Climate Solutions (invited), who will present the findings of Climate Solutions’ new report, “Securing Idaho’s Energy Future.” The first session will be dedicated to presenting the findings of both studies; the second will be an open discussion of these reports as well as other climate initiatives.
