The Huge Opportunity In Renewables And Storage
As the world’s transportation, energy and infrastructure systems all embark on a massive electric transformation, the binational Great Lakes region can become the world’s clean energy leader.
The first edition of the Future of the Great Lakes dialogue series, jointly convened by CityAge and the binational Council of the Great Lakes Region (CGLR) through its Great Lakes Economic Forum, looked at how to dramatically expand renewable energy production, storage and distribution, and why it’s such a major business opportunity for the region.
