Bridging the Gap Between Clean-Energy Ambition and Local Reality
Across New England and New York, we’re modernizing the grid, adding battery storage, and building the clean-power facilities needed to meet ambitious climate goals. But progress on paper doesn’t always translate smoothly to results on the ground.
I still remember standing in a crowded public hearing in western Massachusetts, answering questions from residents worried about a new community solar project — the first in their town. It wasn’t hostility; it was concern. People wanted to understand what was changing and why, and whether it might harm their community.
The project was proposed to be built on a struggling family dairy farm, with the owners counting on the solar lease payments to help keep their farm viable. That moment has stuck with me. It’s one reason I launched CBR Energy Solutions: to help bridge the gap between clean-energy ambition and local reality.
