The 90-minute session will delve into New York's targeted goal for 100 percent clean energy on its grid by 2040 to reduce carbon emissions and slow the progress of climate change. Learn why this effort remains a challenge and what will be required to widely roll out new all-electric buildings, including manufacturing and commercial , like Micron, which will require more than 30,000 megawatts of energy to run. Hear from state legislators, agency underwriters, energy providers and architects and developers who remain directly impacted by the electrification process.
