The New Energy Ethic Talk
- 1. The New Energy Ethic Sandy Reisky, CEO Apex Clean Energy Tom Tom Founders Festival Charlottesville, Virginia April 11, 2014
- 2. This is a talk about energy ethics. It is not about bashing fossil fuels or our utilities or the hard work done by the industry every day. I love what energy does for us, I have benefited from fossil fuels all my life. However the current energy system is not healthy for our air, water, soils and bodies. So now that we can do better, we should. 2
