The success of the energy transition will depend on the rapid deployment of zero emission technologies, such as wind, solar, and electric vehicles. It will also require good faith engagement with local communities affected by the transition, including historically marginalized communities. However, misinformation and coordinated disinformation are pervasive. Earlier this year, the Sabin Center published a report called Rebutting 33 False Claims About Solar, Wind, and Electric Vehicles that examines and dispels common myths and misconceptions. This is a panel discussion followed by lunch and networking. In the panel discussion, a diverse group of experts from academia, private practice, the press and advocacy organizations will discuss some of the myths and misconceptions addressed in the Sabin Center's report—and how to overcome them. Participants will include: Basil Seggos, Foley Hoag Peter Lehner, Earthjustice Timmons Roberts, Brown University Peggy Shepard, WE ACT Jael Holzman, Heatmap Matthew Eisenson, Sabin Center (moderator)
