Climate Café is a time to get together, talk about climate, and participate in community action.

Nancy LaPlaca, Third Act Energy & Climate Policy Consultant, will discuss why Third Act is focused on two types of «distributed» solar:

1.  Automated permitting for residential rooftop solar.

2.  Plug-in or balcony solar - why it’s a gateway to understanding the value of solar.

She will also talk about how these issues will play out in North Carolina, and when we can expect legislation to be considered by the NC General Assembly.
