WELLS MUNI/HARRIET FIELD, NV

Our state is at the precipice of unlocking solar power as a major climate solution. In this webinar, you'll hear from the changemakers who are holding the keys, helping us accelerate our best ideas to solve for climate change.

How can we ensure that solar projects promote equity and climate justice? How do we protect fragile ecosystems and support biodiversity as we continue to build new large-scale solar installations? What role can Georgia-grown highway solar projects play in scaling these solutions across the country?

At our inaugural webinar, we answer all of these questions and more.

The virtual conversation includes:
- Moderator James Marlow, CEO and founder of Clean Energy Advisors
- Lenwood Coleman, chief program officer at Groundswell
- Allie Kelly, executive director at The Ray
- Michael O’Reilly, director of policy and climate strategy for The Nature Conservancy in Georgia

In Georgia, a small - but growing - portion of our electricity comes from renewables, like rooftop and large-scale solar. The majority of the solar power in our state comes from large-scale installations, the largest of which is GA Solar 4, a 200 MW project in Twiggs County. The state is also home to 8 other large-scale installations with an operating capacity of 50 MW or more.

The ultimate takeaway from this enlightening and electrifying conversation on scalable solar? The future of solar power in Georgia is incredibly bright, in part because the energy and innovation in this sector is deeply interconnected, putting us on track for a future with just, clean energy for all.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Chicago ( (listen), locally also ), officially the City of Chicago, is the third most populous city in the United States. As of the 2017 census-estimate, Chicago has a population of 2,716,450, which makes it the most populous city in both the state of Illinois and the Midwestern United States. It is the county seat of Cook County, the second most populous county in the United States. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, which is often referred to as "Chicagoland." The Chicago metropolitan area has nearly 10 million people, is the third-largest in the United States, the fourth largest in North America, and the third largest metropolitan area in the world by land area.
Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed and grew rapidly in the mid-nineteenth century. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed several square miles and left more than 100,000 homeless, the city made a concerted effort to rebuild. The construction boom accelerated population growth throughout the following decades, and by 1900 Chicago was one of the five largest cities in the world. During this period, Chicago made noted contributions to urban planning and zoning standards, including new construction styles (including the Chicago School of architecture), the development of the City Beautiful Movement, and the steel-framed skyscraper.Chicago is an international hub for finance, commerce, industry, technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It was the site of the creation of the first standardized futures contracts at the Chicago Board of Trade, which today is the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world, generating 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures. O'Hare International Airport is the one of the busiest airports in the world, and the region also has the largest number of U.S. highways and railroad freight. In 2012, Chicago was listed as an alpha global city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and it ranked seventh in the entire world in the 2017 Global Cities Index. Chicago has the fourth-largest gross metropolitan product in the world—generating about $670.5 billion according to September 2017 estimates—ranking it after the metropolitan areas of Tokyo, New York City, and Los Angeles, and ranking ahead of number five London and number six ...

Both Linda and Peter Kreisman grew up in Ashland. They left in 1961 and spent their careers in Minnesota. When they returned to Ashland for retirement, they began a search for the seemingly mythical Buck Rock Railroad Tunnel they had heard about while growing up. When they finally found one end of the tunnel, there was a historical marker giving information about the site. This started them on a search for other such markers, and over the past 12 years, Peter and Linda have found over 90 sites and markers. The sites represent historic transportation routes, town sites, military and Native American sites, and cemeteries. In their Windows in Time presentation, Linda and Peter will present a variety of the sites they have found in Jackson County.
