SUMMARY:Earth Day 2022: Energy Storage Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:What stands between us and a world powered entirely by sunshine and wind? The answer is batteries–also known as “energy storage.” Celebrate Earth Day 2022 with Solar Oregon and join us for a special webinar deep-dive about a technology that can not only keep the lights on in your home or business during an outage\, but which is helping us make the best possible use of our solar energy. We’ll cover topics like: \n\nHow does an energy storage system work\, and what does it look like?\nHow much can you actually power with a battery?\nHow much does energy storage cost\, and what types of incentives are available?\nWhat are the key trends to watch for in the next year?\n\nWe are joined by three special guest speakers\, including: \nLucas Miller\, Mayfield Renewables – As a firm believer that climate change is the most pressing issue facing his generation\, Lucas dove into the renewables industry straight out of college by moving from Wisconsin to Portland to work for a regional solar and energy storage contractor in 2017. In that role\, he managed all company marketing\, community outreach\, and project permitting. Currently\, Lucas works at Mayfield Renewables where he consults on solar-plus-storage projects and go-to-market strategies for contractors\, developers\, and manufacturers. \nAdditional bios coming soon. \nThis event is free and open to everyone. RSVP for a link and call-in number to join the webinar. \nThis workshop is made possible with support from the Energy Trust of Oregon.

His work and the work of other dedicated city staff has culminated in over 7 MW of solar energy; an innovative hydroelectric generator attached to an Aquifer Storage and Recovery system; and widespread consumer adoption of solar and energy efficiency–all this in a city with a population of 17\,000. Speakers include: \nBob Patterson – Since 2003\, Mr. Patterson has been the Public Works Director for the City of Pendleton. He is responsible for administrative and leadership oversight in directing work assignments\, construction and maintenance efforts\, and overall completion of projects. The Public Works Department consists of Administration & Fleet Division\, Sewer Division\, Streets Division\, and Water Division for a total of 35 employees. The annual operating budget for the Department is just over $17\,000\,000 annually\, with over $20\,000\,000 in capital projects slated for the current fiscal year. Bob was the recipient of the Top Ten Leader of the Year award from the National American Public Works Association in 2016. \nAdditional speakers TBD! \nPlease join the nonprofit Solar Oregon in an interactive webinar to hear the remarkable energy story of Pendleton\, Oregon. Thanks to Energy Trust of Oregon\, for supporting this event.

SUMMARY:Small Modular Nuclear Reactors: is nuclear in Oregon's future?
DESCRIPTION:Join Solar Oregon and hear from advocates both supportive and opposed to a new generation of nuclear tech\, and what it might mean for Oregon\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nSmall Modular Reactors (SMRs) represent a new generation of nuclear technology that promises to solve the high cost and safety concerns associated with traditional large nuclear reactors. Will they live up to their promise? Join Solar Oregon as we explore both the ups and the downs of a technology that–whether you love it or hate it–aims to be part of a carbon-free future. \nWe are joined by a special panel of experts spanning both sides of the SMR conversation: \nTom Sicilia\, PG\, is a hydrogeologist in the Nuclear Safety and Emergency Preparedness division of the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE). His background is in investigation and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. Since joining ODOE in 2018\, he has been following developments in the nuclear energy sector. While his primary focus area is activities at the Hanford site\, he is also become a resource for information on Small Modular Reactors. \nEmma Redfoot is a board member and outreach specialist for Mothers for Nuclear\, an organization focused on engaging in a dialogue surrounding the importance of nuclear energy as part of protecting nature for current and future generations. She has a BA in Environmental Studies from Lewis and Clark College and an MS in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Idaho. Emma supports nuclear energy due to the environmental and social benefits it provides as an emissions free source of electricity that has been one of the major tools for rapid decarbonization around the world. She supports nuclear and renewable energy sources working together to provide clean\, reliable\, and affordable electricity to meet the intertwined challenges of climate change and energy accessibility. \nDamon Motz-Storey leads Oregon PSR’s Healthy Climate Program advocating for a just transition from fossil fuels and nuclear power to clean\, renewable energy. Damon coordinates Oregon PSR’s climate and environmental lobbying efforts to ensure that public health and safety are well-considered by policy makers at the local\, state\, and federal levels. Damon has been with Oregon PSR since 2016 and enjoys cooking\, singing\, and cycling around the city of Portland.
