Harvard’s Climate Initiative Joins Nationwide Sun Day Mobilization to Celebrate the Clean Energy Revolution

Learn to drive and pedal on sun power and how you can capture the power of the sun on your property.  Here’s a snapshot of what we will offer:

1. An EV Petting Zoo. Meet the EV owners and their cars. Learn from those who drive them! Federal rebates run out at the end of the month, but state incentives still exist.
2. EBike Petting Zoo. See a few models of EBikes that will get you up the hills of Harvard.
3. Solar Panel Options: In addition to solar on your roof, we will share how to construct free standing solar panels and battery options without National Grid hook-ups.
4. Solar Farm Options: You can join a Massachusetts solar farm at NO COST and reap savings on your electricity bill.

Some things to know and celebrate about clean energy:

1. Solar and wind power are no longer “alternative” energy – they’re now the most reliable, practical choice for powering our future.
2. Solar power is affordable. It’s the cheapest way to power your home or business – most systems pay for themselves within a few years and can provide cheap and clean energy to your home for decades. Coupled with batteries, you can keep the lights on when there are power outages.
3. Global solar capacity has grown more than tenfold in the past decade and it’s now the fastest growing energy source in the world.
4. The clean energy sector currently employs millions of workers in the US, creating sustainable jobs and economic growth to communities everywhere.
5. Despite this progress, we face organized opposition from fossil fuel companies and their allies who are spending millions to slow down the clean energy transition – attempting to roll back key clean energy policies in Congress, spreading misinformation, and protecting their profits at the expense of our health and future.

Whether you are motivated by lower energy bills, cleaner air for your family, climate action, energy independence or good paying clean energy jobs – this moment is for you.  Join us!
