The Ohio Legislature is overhauling state energy policy with two goals: increasing the supply and reliability of electricity and trying to keep it affordable. Electrical engineer Brent Boyd, one of Ohio’s leading solar entrepreneurs, will alert us to influential supporters of renewable energy. He will outline the “green+ green” case that green energy solutions reduce operating expenses as well as protecting the environment.
